It’s a great way to meet working professionals in the post industry with whom you can network and build relationships. It’s also an opportunity to gain a real sense of community, in both a supportive and inclusive environment, and an excellent resource for learning new skills.
We represent all the underrepresented in the BC film industry. We are post!
Absolutely! Any VPA member is whole heartedly welcome to volunteer and help out on one or more of our committees, or just generally as desired.
Get in touch with us at info@vancouverpostalliance.com and we’ll get back to you with the next steps involved.
Join our Slack Workspace and get connected immediately with members of the post community. You can reach out with questions, concerns, or even let us know you’re available and looking for work. It’s a great way to introduce yourself too.
Another great way to get started would be to look into the VPA’s mentorship initiatives (Coffee with a Mentor, Speed Mentoring, and our Full 3-month program). We give you access to seasoned professionals with whom you can gain a wealth of knowledge, from how to get started, industry best practices, pointers to raise your professional working game, and more! Learn more about the mentorship program here.
It can be a little overwhelming when just starting out, but there are lots of things you can do to put your best foot forward. We encourage you to come out and participate at our events and network with other people working in your sector of post. Put a face to a name and you will be remembered!
