Film4Ward: Filmmaker development program
Incubating PEI's next generation of filmmakers. Four projects will be chosen to work closely with FilmPEI and industry mentors through development, funding, training, and production.
What Film4Ward offers
FilmPEI is excited to announce the 2026 iteration of the Film4Ward Training Program. As an incubator program for film production and skill capacity building, we aim to open the industry up to beginners with little to no experience.
Four projects will be chosen for the 2026 F4W Training Program. Each project will be working closely with FilmPEI and the F4W Industry Mentors for their project development, funding, workshops and training, pre-production, production, and post-production.
The Film4Ward program was designed to develop talent and grow the skills of emerging PEI filmmakers, and to develop PEI crew capacity to work on larger film and television productions. Creating a short film is a necessary stepping stone in a filmmaker's career.
Who cannot apply
Successful writer/directors from previous Film4Ward programs who had the opportunity to make their projects will not be eligible for the 2026 Film4Ward program. Howver past writers/directors can participate as crew.
