New Media Manitoba
(NMM), in partnership with On Screen Manitoba (OSM) and with support from the Canada Media Fund, is launching  an intense hands-on training program that empowers emerging talents from Indigenous, Francophone, and other underrepresented communities looking to learn and create with Virtual Production.  

The program will culminate in the creation of a short film developed entirely within three small teams and filmed at StudioLab xR with the support of our staff and leading industry mentors.

StoryLab xR is designed to equip participants with the skills they need to leverage advanced technology and create compelling stories that connect with audiences in new and meaningful ways.
