Crazy8s is an exciting 8-day filmmaking talent incubator that provides funding and support to emerging filmmakers to help them produce a short film. Founded 20 years ago by the BC Branch of the Directors Guild, Crazy8s is now run by the not-for profit Crazy8s Film Society.
To date, and with the generous support of the local film industry, Crazy8s has produced and supported 115 films which have screened globally at numerous film festivals and have taken home many prestigious awards.
