BRINGING
HOLLYWOOD
TO THE NORTH
All Together While Apart
It has long been recognized that Canada is rich in talent but lack the same opportunities as our American neighbors in the film industry. The Movie Expo exists to connect Canadian filmmaking talent to the world stage. We are bringing the network, knowledge, and prospective collaborations up to Canada. By housing them all under one roof in an intensive 2 day interactive showcase in Toronto.
