This exciting weekend movie-making retreat sees about 10-20 Film Board members and guests spend 48 hours at Hart House farm and make a movie together. This is a very fun and educational weekend away from the city. No experience necessary.

All the equipment (cameras, lights, etc.) will be supplied. Everyone is invited to play a hands-on role in making the movie. Your degree of participation is up to you. (Note that this is open to guests: you can invite friends and family to attend as well.)

All participants will be invited to a meeting (date & time TBA), to meet, greet, and discuss how the group would like to approach the project. For example, do people have special skills (e.g. camera experience, acting); does the group want to brainstorm a script in advance or leave it until when they get to the Farm? (We’ve done both in the past)

Hart House Farm is a beautiful 150-acre property cradled in the Caledon Hills on the ridge of the Niagara Escarpment, only 1 hour north Toronto. Featuring an outdoor sauna and two swimming ponds.

SPECIAL NOTES
The farm has sleeping facilities but participants must bring their own bedding (sleeping bag) and toiletries and towels. You are also welcome to pitch a tent on site. There are no showers (it’s only 2 days, you’ll make it. Go for a swim if you need to refresh). All participants contribute to cooking and cleaning duties. No pets allowed.
