Request from The Love of Learning:

The Love of Learning which is an arts-based non-profit organization for resilient youth, or youth between the ages of 15 and 35 inclusive, who are successfully working to overcome overwhelming social and/or economic obstacles and beating the odds. Our mission is to empower and engage local at risk youth and resilient youth populations through creative-focused workshops that facilitate future lifelong learning and skills development.

They are looking for a call to local filmmakers who would be interested in having their film screened as part of a workshop. The workshops take place at the Gower Street United Church, Fridays b/w 2:00-4:00pm. It would also be great if the filmmaker would be available to present their work and do a Q&A afterwards with the youth. But ultimately, we are interested in screening local films.
 
Those willing and able can contact the Director of Programming, Melanie Maher:
