Canucks, check out this Playback article:

The National Screen Institute - Canada is calling for filmmaking teams to apply to Features First 2007. The 10-month program offers sessions on script and story development, legal requirements, financing and more, all delivered by Canadian industry leaders.

Up to five teams will be selected. Selected teams do not have to pay tuition or relocate.

The Winnipeg institute [aims] to help emerging filmmakers advance their first or second feature film. Eleven of 33 projects developed by the program have been produced.

Teams must apply with a feature film script by Sept. 28. Visit www.nsi-canada.ca/featuresfirst for full details.

Oh, and I'm mentioned fleetingly in this Brendan Kelly Variety article about upcoming Canadian production.
