Christine Kleckner, producer, Barefoot
"
I loved going to Winnipeg, spending time with the other recipients, and sinking into a think-tank environment. It is such a rare opportunity (if not the only) for emerging filmmakers to gather around a table for a week and work through the process with professionals."
Danis Goulet, writer/director, Barefoot
"
NSI is a very valuable training institution in Canada and within NSI, the Drama Prize program is a unique offering as it isn’t simply training but actually gives filmmakers a way to make their short film."
Leah Cameron, director, Subway Harmonies
"NSI Drama Prize is extremely well run. I often tell people about how much I learned there, how much it allowed us to grow as a team, the tremendous mentors that you guys bring in and how supported I felt as an emerging filmmaker."
Nelson MacDonald, producer, When You Sleep
"
It was great to be isolated and working intensely on our project for a week with no distractions."
Ashley McKenzie, writer/director, When You Sleep
"
I think Shereen Jerrett’s approach of helping writers find their touchstone is very empowering and useful."
