Calling all performers, filmmakers, and creative folks! Focus Hub Inc. and Film Training Manitoba are teaming up to launch a new meetup for people working in (or curious about) the performing arts and film industries.

During this session, FTM and Focus Hub Inc. will invite attendees to meet and network in an open and supportive manner. This is a low-pressure, community-first gathering designed to help creatives connect, share experiences, and build relationships across disciplines.

Who this is for:

• Performing arts: actors, singers, dancers, theatre performers
• Film & media: producers, directors, editors, cinematographers
• Creative & technical crew: sound, lighting, post-production, designers

What to expect:

• Casual networking and introductions
• Cross-disciplinary conversations between stage and screen
• A welcoming, inclusive environment with no pressure to perform or pitch
• Exploring industry needs and meet-up expectations.

Why this meetup:

Creative work thrives in the community. STAGE × SCREEN is about breaking silos, widening access for underrepresented communities, and creating space for meaningful connections across Manitoba’s creative industries.
