Empowering Diversity in Media
About Our Mission
Based in British Columbia, BCMFTS is dedicated to fostering inclusion in the film and TV industry. Since 2018, we have provided mentorship and training to underrepresented creators from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and immigrant communities. We are always seeking meaningful ways to support diverse stories that deserve to be seen and heard. Our mission is to build a bridge for diversity—not just within BC, but globally—because diversity doesn’t end at our borders. From the heart of BC, we bring our stories, voices, and values to the world.
Our initiatives include short film mentorships, cross-cultural partnerships, and social impact micro-grants. Explore our website to discover how we support filmmakers, funders, and festivals in creating a more inclusive media landscape.
