Northern Ontario filmmakers have their own incubator.

Robert Budreau’s Lumanity North production shingle is launching a short film calling card program, LumanityNORTH film incubator.

Having pacted with Bell Media’s bravoFACT, Lumanity North will shortlist three applicant teams to go through a weekend boot camp in North Bay.

The goal is to offer training and mentorship from industry professionals to hone their short film projects.

The winning team will earn a $10,000 grant from BravoFACT, in-kind services to complete their short film, and a premiere at the Cinefest Sudbury International Film Festival.

Only northern Ontario filmmakers need apply, and students are not eligable unless they are completing their final year of school.

Applications are due April 1, 2014, with details available at www.lumanitynorthfilmincubator.com.
