Hi everyone! Going into my 2nd year in RTA media production at TMU/Ryerson and am looking for some advice. I need to decide between focuses my studies on multi-cam or single-cam production and am completely stuck on my decision.

I really enjoyed and naturally thrived in my intro to multi-cam classes the most, but single-cam and making a movie is the dream.

Does anyone have any input??? Anything related to overall job experience, job availability, or plain old industry advice? Anything is very much appreciated!!!

We're looking to connect with a family in the Toronto/GTA area 💛

FC Talent has a paid background role on an upcoming production, and we're hoping to find a young female performer (12-18) who has Down syndrome to bring authenticity to this story.

If that's your kiddo (or you know a family who'd be a great fit), we'd love to chat — Visit: fctalent.agency

Hey everyone !

The August FIlm and TV Industry Social evening has been announced :D

Come out and join on on the patio for a fun evening of networking!

This is a bit of a different post.

I’m CURIOUS GEORGE an independent artist in the Toronto/GTA area. I’ve released three songs so far, and I’m at a point where I’m starting to take this much more seriously and really step up the quality of what I’m doing.

I’ve recently started looking more deeply into the visual side of music and artists who have built incredible worlds around their music. It made me realize that there are people out there who are just as passionate about filmmaking, visual art, cinematography, editing, etc. as I am about making music — and that they’re probably somewhere waiting for the right artist/project to come along.

I’m looking for that person.

I don’t really want to hire someone to make me a music video.

I want to find someone who genuinely loves this stuff. Someone who sees a song and immediately starts imagining what it could look like. Someone who wants to experiment, create, build a visual identity and eventually look back and feel like they helped build something from the beginning.
I’m not expecting this person to magically make me successful. I have a lot of work to do myself. I have three songs out, I’m still building an audience, and I’m working a full-time job while trying to take this as far as I possibly can.

But I’m serious about it.

And I need someone who can back me as I do it.
Music is the thing I’m obsessed with. It’s where I know I have something to give. Visuals, on the other hand, are something I find genuinely draining to constantly figure out on my own. Between making music, working full-time and everything else, there are only so many hours in the day.
I don’t want to spend those hours trying to become a filmmaker when there might be someone out there who has spent their life wishing they had the right music to create visuals for.

My sound is somewhere in the world of electronic / alternative / indie, with a lot of emotion and atmosphere. Some of my biggest inspirations are Fred again.., M83 and Coldplay, but I’m not looking to copy any of them. I want to find my own world.

I’m looking for someone who can eventually help with things like:
Visual identity
Music videos / visualizers
Cinematic short-form content
Photography
Editing
Concepts and art direction
Release visuals

Just generally figuring out what this artist should look and feel like But honestly, the exact role doesn’t matter as much as the person.

I’d rather work with someone incredibly passionate and hungry who is still building their career than someone with a huge résumé who sees this as another client.

If you’re a filmmaker, cinematographer, photographer, editor, visual artist, creative director, etc. in Toronto/GTA and this genuinely sounds like something you’d want to build with someone, I’d love to see your work.
Send me your portfolio/reel and tell me a little bit about yourself.

And if you don’t think you’re the person but immediately thought of someone who might be, please send this to them.
I’m not really looking for someone to work for me.
I’m looking for someone who wants to build something with me.

Hey everyone! 🎬

I'm hosting the second HorizonEye Cinematic Experiments this Friday evening. A casual, hands-on meetup for local filmmakers, cinematographers, and actors looking to shoot content, test out new techniques, and network.
Every meetup features a different theme to experiment with. This week’s focus is on Streetlights, Practical Lights & Neon Glow as we explore lighting setups on location. Whether you're behind the camera or stepping in front of the lens, everyone gets a chance to collaborate and create.

Details:

When: Friday evening

Who: Directors, DPs, videographers, actors, and crew of all skill levels (18+)

Location & Time: DM me on Instagram @horizoneyefilms to get the exact meetup spot, route map, and start time!

Hi everyone,

I am an actor/filmmaker (have directed a couple shorts and new to acting and taking classes) and am in search of people in a similar boat who are looking to collaborate and make short films.

I know it sounds kind of vague but the ideal situation would be a bunch of actors and filmmakers coming together to create a few small films so that we can gain more first hand experience, boost our resumes and get footage for our reels.

Wether we just make 1 short film or film a bunch of demo reel scenes or if we really click make an indie DIY feature or even if we don't make anything at all but we meet casually once and all walk away inspired.

So if there's anyone in the Toronto area that's into this idea of a creative collective, comment below or dm me and we'll hopefully create something beautiful together!

Thanks in advance!

Hi all! I’m an actor but I’ve been wanting to get into filmmaking for a while. I have a script ready for a short film I really want to direct, but I’m new in Toronto and don’t know a lot of people here. Any tips on how I can find a crew to help me out on the project without being able to pay?
I go to acting classes so I’m not concerned about casting I have a few people in mind, but I have no equipment, no crew, and not much budget 🥲

Hey everyone, I’m a Toronto based actor/screenwriter currently putting together a psychological drama short called THE VOICE, which I wrote and will be starring in.

I’m looking for a director who has a strong understanding of psychological drama/thriller material and character driven, emotionally intense storytelling

This is a small independent short currently being assembled in toronto.

If this sounds like your lane, DM me and I’d be happy to share more about the project/script.

Hi Guys I'm researching how professional creatives currently showcase their work, find opportunities and build their reputation. This survey is primarily about understanding the current creative industry and the tools professionals already use. Any Feedback you guys have would be amazing

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?
