Updates

Hey there, wonderful filmmaker!

Wraps you in a virtual warm blanket and hands you a cup of hot chocolate ✨

You know that cozy feeling when you're watching your favorite holiday movie, wrapped in a blanket, and everything just feels... right? That's exactly how our ConneKt Film community makes us feel every single day. As I'm writing this from our little corner of Toronto (probably with my third coffee of the day 😅), I can't help but feel incredibly grateful for each and every one of you who's made this year so special.

2024 has been quite the journey, hasn't it? From those late-night editing sessions to early morning shoots in the Toronto cold – you've all pushed through with such passion and determination. And here we are, about to welcome 2025 together!

Speaking of holiday mode (yes, it's totally okay to binge-watch "It's a Wonderful Life" for the hundredth time!), I've already got my holiday movie marathon planned. "Home Alone" is first on my list, complete with hot chocolate and extra marshmallows! 🍫

Before I wrap this up with a festive bow...

🎁 Your Holiday Treats Are Here! Don't miss out on this month's carefully wrapped opportunities below! Plus, keep an eye on your inbox – we're crafting a special "2024 in Film" recap just for you. It's packed with the year's biggest moments, industry shifts, and success stories from our community. Consider it our holiday gift to help you kick off 2025 with inspiration and insider knowledge! ✨

With warm hugs and holiday cheer,
The ConneKt Film Team
