Program details

Overview

Digital Film and Media Production is a one-year post-graduate diploma that gives graduates of creative communications, media production, or film studies programs, as well as industry professionals, the practical and theoretical skills to work as a producer, videographer, editor, or freelancer in the film and media industry. The program bridges students from post-secondary study into Manitoba's local film production industry, combining hands-on production training with practical business and administrative skills for freelance and contract work. Students build a professional-level demo reel and production portfolio while working on real production projects. The program runs on a September start in Winnipeg. It accepts both graduates of related post-secondary programs and applicants without a related credential who can demonstrate relevant skill through a demonstration reel, making it a route into the film and media industry for career changers as well as recent graduates.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must either provide evidence of graduation from, or current enrolment in, a diploma, advanced diploma, or degree in creative communications, media production, film studies, or a related field (no demonstration reel required), or submit proof of Grade 12 graduation or enrolment along with an acceptable demonstration reel submitted as a video link. Applicants still enrolled at the time of application must submit official final grades showing successful completion by July 15 for fall enrolment. Applicants who completed at least three years of full-time secondary education in Canada, the United States, or an ELR-exempt country with English as the language of instruction meet the English language requirement automatically; others must submit an approved English language assessment. Mature applicants aged 19 or older who have been out of high school for at least one year may apply with an acceptable demonstration reel and by meeting the regular English language requirement.
