Positions available: 4
Our organization needs some help reviewing and rating film submissions to our film festival! Every year, we collect short films from youth filmmakers around the world, and create a festival collection that highlights diverse voices, unique stories, and the best work from emerging filmmakers. This position would involve filtering submissions to ensure that they meet our criteria, watching films, and rating them based on our selection guidelines. This is a remote position and would require access to a computer and internet.
This project will require:
- A critical eye for qualities that make a strong film (not just production value)
- An understanding of our festival and the types of films we want to highlight
- Self-discipline and time management skills
- Use of your home computer and internet to access FilmFreeway
We will give you access to FilmFreeway, as well as personnel, training, and supervision.
We hope to work with two project interns, for 10-20 hours per week for a total of 80 hours.

Reel Youth is a media empowerment project of MakeWay Charitable Society that delivers community development programming to youth and adults across Canada and internationally. Film production and distribution programs are designed to create positive change in young people's lives through technical skill building, leadership training, creative collaboration with peers and mentors, and increased connection to community resources.
Our award winning programs support participants to create media about issues they care about as they gain tangible media production and leadership skills. Programs are as much about film making as building personal resiliency in marginalized youth to overcome challenges, be successful, and inspire those around them.
