BRIAN CARTY FILM VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION AWARD

The NB Film Co-op, Picaroons and the Silver Wave Film Festival are proud to announce that the Picaroons Recognition Award for a person, group or organization who has contributed significantly to film and video in New Brunswick in a volunteer capacity (Cash Award of $500 thanks to our SWFF sponsor Picaroons) will now be called the Brian Carty Film Volunteer Recognition Award.

We will honour Film Co-op member Brian Carty every year with this award at SWFF.

We thank Picaroons for their support and dedication to supporting the arts in New Brunswick in so many different ways on so many different levels.

Not only was Brian a filmmaker, musician and singer, he loved nothing better than to help his son out with an essay or a Picaroons growler. 

Please nominate a deserving person, group or organization that goes that extra mile to help others in film and video in NB. (Note: those who have won this award in the far past can't win it again so check to make sure you are not nominating someone who has already won!) 

Email your nomination to info@nbfilmcoop.com

REGISTER FOR THE NBFC’S WORKSHOP SERIES!

The NB Film Co-op’s annual filmmaking workshop series presents classes in all aspects of filmmaking from screenwriting to editing to how to become a stunt person in film and television. 

Many of the workshops help you learn the production process and where to find the resources to make your first film. The workshops are also filled with personal stories that will help you navigate the New Brunswick film community and your productions as a smart troubleshooter who is ready for anything that gets thrown at you. 

Other workshops in the series cover different stages of the filmmaking process and the roles involved in those stages. Learn from professional filmmakers at different levels who are active in their field and connect with fellow workshop participants in this practical hands-on annual series. 

All workshops are open to the public. There are discounts for NB Film Co-op members.

The Fredericton workshops have started for 2018. Register today! Check them out online at http://nbfilmcoop.com/workshops 

Please email info@nbfilmcoop.com to ensure there are still spaces in any workshops you are interested in taking before you register.

The Moncton and Saint John Workshop Schedules will go up online on the NB Film Co-op workshop link at the end of April.

UPDATE YOUR CAST AND CREW PROFILE TODAY!

So you've joined the NB Film Co-op. You've taken a bunch of workshops. You've gone to networking events. But you're still unsure how to actually get involved with a film shoot.

One way to get your name out there is to register for the NB Film Co-op Cast and Crew Profile. It's a database where filmmakers can see a list of members who are able to fill in various cast and crew positions. It's simple to fill out and in no time your name will be made available to all filmmakers who are looking for cast and crew for their upcoming projects. It has recently been modified to allow new members with little or no experience create a profile, and it also allows members to fill in a more complete resume if they wish.

It's also beneficial for our more experienced members too. It is a place where commercial filmmakers can go to search for people to hire for paid shoots, and it gives members a platform to self promote themselves and their work.

So please, take a few minutes to fill out your profile and help the Co-op promote you!

This benefit is only for Film Co-op members in good standing, please email Cat to get the sign in information.
