Info & Eligibility
Whether you’re ready to jump in and get started, still deciding if the Spring Mentorship Program is right for you, or just trying to wrap your head around what it all means—The Speed Mentoring event is for you!
On Feb 15, 2024 @ 7:30PM, The VPA Mentorship Committee is hosting an introductory event that connects established industry professionals with the upcoming generation of post production in Vancouver. Potential program participants will be divided into Mentors and Mentees and provided the unique opportunity to test the waters of this dichotomy in a fun and interactive environment.
Mentees will rotate through the Mentors, using the allotted five minutes to ask a few questions and give both parties a taste for the program’s intent prior to applications opening. Unlike the program itself, this setup will cross sector boundaries and provide participants with a glimpse into the many sides of post. The Mentors at the event will range from, but not limited to, career Picture Editors, Re-Recording Mixers, VFX Producers, Post Producers and Composers.
Spots are limited so all event participants must register in advance before February 9th as either a Mentor or Mentee to ensure that the event is tailored to suit the number of attendees.
