Manitoba filmmaker Alec Carlos’s film, In a Moment’s Notice, has won the Best Canadian Short Film award at the 2021 UWPG Film Festival.
Alec Carlos is an actor, filmmaker, writer, and musician based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is currently in his final year at the University of Manitoba for Film Studies.
He has been writing, filmmaking and editing since childhood, and has entered the industry via acting in productions such as Amazon Prime’s Tales from the Loop, Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott’s Tales from the Hood 3, as well as the upcoming prequel to 2009’s Orphan, Orphan: First Kill.
For the past number of years, Film Training Manitoba (FTM) has been partnering with UWPG Film Festival on several training activities and continues to support this category.
“Manitoba has a history of developing world-class film professionals and FTM is happy to encourage Alec Carlo as a new talent in our industry and we are looking forward to seeing his next project,” said FTM’s Managing Director Adam Smoluk.
