In partnership with the Emerging Filmmakers Program at OYA Media Group and industry partners, Live it to Learn It, now in its fifth year, provides paid internship positions that offer training and hands-on experience in production houses and on the sets of some of Toronto’s leading TV productions. The program is open to Black youth ages 18-26.
Interns will learn all about the many roles that exist behind-the-camera in the industry. Participating interns will leave the program with contacts, training and certifications that will help to forge a deeper path for themselves in working in the industry. This program is virtual in 2020-21.

Project History
Live It To Learn It was launched in 2016 in partnership with Strada Films, Thunderbird Productions and the hit series Kim’s Convenience. It was made possible by the vision and coordination of the supervising producers of the show, Robin Cass and Sandra Cunningham. Since then it has been embraced by the industry, upholding the shared value of facilitating greater diversity behind-the-scenes in the Film and TV industry.
