What I love most about my involvement with TIFF is connecting with other people in the room through the film we’re watching — whether that’s with a public audience in a theatre or in a pre-screening room with the committee. This opportunity has opened my eyes to the wide array of movies I didn’t realize I would ever be interested in.”

TIFF is honoured to be a part of the journeys of so many people, and in so many ways. We are particularly proud of our programmes Studio and Talent Lab, which support emerging filmmakers by providing opportunities to develop their YOU MAKE skills, network, build careers, and, most importantly, tell their stories.
TIFF alumni in action
TIFF’s tailored professional development programmes are made possible thanks to our key industry partners, including Telefilm JOURNEYS Canada, the Ontario Media Development Corporation, the City of Toronto, the Directors Guild of Canada, and the Harold Greenberg Fund.
We spoke with two alumni about their experiences: Timothy Yeung, a Canadian-born Chinese filmmaker who participated in Talent Lab, our intensive, four-day artistic development programme; and Karen Harnisch, an alumnus of our producer development programme, Studio.

Karen Harnisch, producer
TIFF: How did you get your start in film?
KH: I went to film school at Ryerson University and produced four short films in my final year. Director Andrew Cividino and I met a year after I graduated and soon collaborated on his short film We Ate the Children Last, adapted from Yann Martel’s short story of the same name. I knew early on that producing was a good fit for me because I’m a generalist — I get bored if I’m focused on one challenge or task for too long, and I love strategizing.
What did you learn at TIFF Studio?
I knew immediately the programme was exactly what I needed. I had never worked as a producer’s assistant, so I was extremely hungry for mentorship but didn’t have any industry connections to leverage. I had no idea where to find one. From that first session, I was struck with this incredible realization: “Oh! There are people in my own city who make this their life’s work!” — including some brilliant, accomplished, and savvy women. Through Studio I was able to learn from Jennifer Kawaja, Regine Schmid, Juliette Lepoutre, Sylvie Pialat, and Janet Brown, among many others. This was a crucial turning point in my career. 1976, meet 2015
