IMA Celebrates 10 Years of Mentorship

A huge thank you to HSBC Bank Canada for 10 years of supporting Image Arts students with scholarships and an industry networking mentorship day. The HSBC Industry Day was a huge success featuring a panel discussion with visiting producers, a networking lunch and 1:1 mentorship speed meetings. The meetings saw fourth-year film students chat one on one with the producers to discuss further advice on how to success in the industry and explore potential opportunities.  

The day’s industry mentors included:

Morris Gluck - HSBC Bank Canada 

Christina Piovesan - First Generation Films

Scott Garvey - Shaftesbury

Ira Levy - Breakthrough Entertainment

Emily Jenkins - Guru Animation

Karen Thorne Stone - Ontario Creates

Jennifer Holness - Hungry Eyes Media

Mitch Geddes - Bell Media

andre Dupuis - Echo Bay Media

Mark Bishop - Marble Media

Vince Commisso - 9 Story Media Group

The message students took home was do your research, be tenacious and know that the industry is ready and waiting for you to graduate! The world needs more FCAD talent.
