One full-tuition and two partial scholarships will be offered. The deadline to apply is October 15, and winners will be announced on November 15.

The partnership between Vancouver Film School and ficmonterrey first began in 2017 when the scholarship was conceived. As with previous years, the scholarship will award the most-promising Latin American students with the opportunity to enroll in VFS’ Writing for Film, Television & Games advanced production program.

In the final half of the program, students are able to choose a specialization, either in feature films, television, or video games.

In addition, VFS will once again participate in training events organized by ficmonterrey, including a ‘women in production’ master class on August 19 with Kathian Pascal and Fernadna Figueroa, a documentary master class on August 23 with Ruggero Roman, and a writing workshop on August 28 with writer/director/producer Ezell Planco.
