Description:
Pixelbox Studio will mentor up to three students to support the creation of Outpost 31's film Northlore. This film project will start production in 2021 and is supported by the NFB & the Canada Media Fund and Yukon Media Development. This film project requires a skilled team to support the pioneering technical challenges and the demanding style of the film in order to meet the timeline of release in 2022. Rather than hire professionals outside of the Yukon, Jayden and Pixelbox Studio will create a mentorship program to give this opportunity to Yukoners. The mentorship will allow them to create a team locally, to build local capacity and infrastructure, and to grow the Northern creative industry in a sector that is seeing exponential growth across Canada right now.

Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Expected Results:
As a result of this project, the recipient will create an opportunity to bring these emerging creatives and technicians into the studio environment for training with industry standard equipment and and cutting edge technologies that are underutilized in Northern creative industries and transferrable to other sectors.
