We had the privilege of welcoming the Documentary Organization of Canada (DOC) to our Muslim Media Hub 2024 Short Film Lab. It was an exciting moment for us as we partnered with a group that truly understands the power of storytelling and supports filmmakers in such meaningful ways.
We were fortunate to have Sarah Spring, DOC’s Executive Director, Tazeen Ahmed, Operations Manager, and Laura Duenas, Communications and Membership Manager, join us for the lab. They shared so many valuable insights, from funding opportunities to legal guidance and mentorship — all things that can make a huge difference in helping filmmakers bring their ideas to life.
This collaboration has already had an impact on the filmmakers in our lab, giving them access to resources that will help them tell their stories more effectively and reach wider audiences. It’s been amazing to see how this partnership is opening doors for our community’s creative talents, and we’re excited about the projects that are starting to take shape as a result.
As we look back on this experience, we’re filled with gratitude for the support DOC has brought to our filmmakers. We can’t wait to see the diverse and powerful stories that will continue to emerge from this partnership.
Stay tuned as we continue to build on this partnership and support the next generation of filmmakers!
