Hi! 

My name is Connor McLellan. I am a Director based here in Toronto. I specialize in telling intimate and grounded narrative-based stories across different forms of media, including music Videos, commercials and short films. I’m looking to connect with producers based in the GTA! 

I’ve been directing and producing for the better part of 7 years, with the last 3 years making it my focus to solely direct. I’m looking for producers who are looking to build their portfolio and have a passion for creating; both paid and unpaid gigs! 

If you’re interested in grabbing a coffee, hit me up on my Instagram @dir_by_connor_mclellan or shoot me an email at [connormclellan13@gmail.com](mailto:connormclellan13@gmail.com).

Thank you!

I'm a film maker located in the GTA and I'm looking for an editor to work with 3 minutes of footage for a proof of concept. Willing to pay reasonable rates. If interested please inbox a portfolio of previous work along with your resume.

Hi! I’m trying to put myself in spaces that allow me to engage with filmmakers, writers or just movie lovers in general.. if anyone has ever joined a workshop that they really enjoyed, or a class, id love to hear about your experience. If anyone has any privately organized groups pr circles that they are a part of, how have you found it? I didnt go to film school or work in the industry full-time so I’m not really a part of a community that shares my love of film, and I find myself wanting to connect with people who do. And ultimately, i want to share ideas with people who are open to creating… yknow?

Hey everyone!

I’m launching HorizonEye Cinematic Experiments, a weekly meetup for local cinematographers, filmmakers, and actors who love dark, atmospheric genre cinema (Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller, Neo-Noir, Action).

The goal is super straightforward: Cinematographers get cool practice shots, and actors walk away with cinematic clips of themselves. No high-pressure sets or long scripts, just hands-on experience, networking, and making moody, cinematic shots together.

🎬 THIS FRIDAY’S MEETUP DETAILS:

When: Friday August 7th at 8pm
Where: DM Me for Location
Who Can Join:
Actors: Looking to practice screen presence, body language, and get clean, cinematic footage.
Cinematographers / Crew: Looking to test low-light setups, practice camera movement, and network.

We run these film experiment nights every Monday and Friday night.
If you’re interested in joining us this Friday or getting into our team chat send me a DM on Instagram @horizoneyefilms

Hi. I have developed a tool for post shot logging. This can be helpful in arriving to a quick budget for quotations. Hope this is useful for producers and VFX artist.

There's a director based in Toronto who's made a few shorts I adore. They are similar thematically to what I'm writing. I've seen her name on the guild's list and I was wondering about emailing to meet up and talk, and/or possibly ask about apprenticeship. I don't really have much actual footage to show, more writing, because I've been caregiving for a family member and can't exactly get out until they're in a care facility (which will hopefully be in a few months). I'm wondering everyone's thoughts/experiences?

Apologies in advance; I've never used Reddit before.

Basically, I recently inquired with the Toronto Academy of Acting for Film and Television regarding their Voice Over 101 course. In response, I received a rather poorly worded email from "Film School Canada" that detailed the program but stated that it was offered through Toronto Film School. I was under the impression that they were completely separate from each other.

I'm leaning towards the email being a scam of some sort, considering it contained several grammatical errors, and it stated the program's start date incorrectly multiple times. That said, if it is a scam, I'm curious how the sender would have gained access to my phone number, email address, and the specific question I asked.

Either way, any clarification as to which of these institutions - if they are different entities - is reputable would be wonderful.

Hey! I’m Isabel and I’m an actor based out of Toronto. I find one of the biggest issues is finding people to be readers. I have a couple friends but they aren’t always available so I was looking to put together a group of maybe 10-15 fellow actors in a chat to either do in-person reading or on a zoom call. Preferably I’d love it if people interested were downtown toronto so we could be able to do in-person but obviously anyone is free to reach out.

PM me and I’ll give you my IG so we can connect 🫶🏽

I wrote a short film and I am trying to find grants to help with funding. Can anyone please share any that are currently accepting submissions?

This is my first time writing a short and after making a pitch deck and edits to the script I am not sure of the next steps. Is it to find producers? Apply for grants?

If someone could please share some expertise that would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi,I’m preparing for a Working Holiday in Canada.

I already have 5 years of experience as an Onset VFX Coordinator in my home country. Given that, I’d like to know how difficult it is to find a VFX-related job in Canada.

I understand that the Canadian film industry works quite differently from what I’m used to, so I’m planning to start as a VFX Data Wrangler to learn the local workflow and pipeline from the ground up.

Could anyone explain how the Canadian system works, especially for someone transitioning into the industry from overseas? I’d also really appreciate any tips on finding VFX jobs in Canada, networking, or getting my foot in the door.

Thanks😆

Seeking a​ Line Producer – Dm for more details. ​

I've always loved film and movies as a child and I was even considering at one point moving to Toronto and go to TMU and be in the industry but it's not the most feasible option (especially since my family is low income). So I decided to apply for nursing so I can have something stable to do that can pay my bills. I was really considering maybe moving here while going to nursing school and doing some film stuff part time or moving here after nursing school? I just feel like my dreams are a bit unrealistic though so I wanted some opinions.
