“The CFC is delighted to be continuing its five year relationship with the Tribeca Film Institute through Tribeca All Access and we are thrilled to be supporting such exciting and original filmmakers and projects as Rhymes for Young Ghouls said Isabel Gomez-Moriana, CFC Executive in Charge of Project Development & Marketplace.
Rhymes for Young Ghouls is a raucous coming of age tale about Aila, a young Mi’gMaq girl embroiled in the family drug trade who is coping with the suicide of her mother and the recent release of her imprisoned father.
"Jeff, Aisling and I are excited and honoured that Rhymes for Young Ghouls has been selected for this program," said producer John Christou. "We'd like to thank the Canadian Film Centre for supporting our project, and we'd like to thank Tribeca for recognizing our project's potential."
Now in its nineth year, TAA was created to help foster and nurture relationships between film industry executives and filmmakers from traditionally underrepresented communities. TAA will present the 11 projects—six narratives and five documentaries—at a five-day career-development program from April 22-26, during the 11th annual Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), presented by American Express, April 18-29.
TAA will provide the participating filmmakers with workshops and one-on-one meetings with more than 100 potential investors, development executives, producers and agents in order to advance their careers and potentially find funding and exposure for their feature length screenplay or documentary work-in-progress.
CFC acts as the Canadian affiliate of the Tribeca All Access Program and is the international filter for all Canadian projects and filmmakers both living in Canada and abroad.
