Description

Hot Docs is pleased to announce that Toronto-based producer Michael McNamara has been named this year’s recipient of the Don Haig Award. The Award is presented by the Hot Docs Board of Directors to an outstanding Canadian independent producer with a feature-length film in competition at the Festival. The Award recognizes creative vision and entrepreneurship, as reflected in the recipient’s body of work and Festival film, as well as a track record of mentoring emerging Canadian filmmakers.

Following the Festival, Doc Accelerator participants have the option to participate in a volunteer placement. Participants are assigned volunteer positions at top industry organizations, where they are provided with mentoring, and opportunities to develop marketable skills and professional contacts. Placement companies are encouraged to provide a honourarium.
