The MFM Hothouse Award for Creative Development is designed for an established Manitoba filmmaker to develop their career by providing them with this award for self-directed development.

This award includes $10,000 in cash & $5,000 in Winnipeg Film Group (WFG) services, and a WFG General Membership and WFG Production Add-On. Additionally, the award-recipient will be provided with a special retrospective screening of their work as a director-creator at the Dave Barber Cinematheque.

There is one award annually.

A filmmaker can receive the MFM Hothouse Award for Creative Development only once.

We would like to thank Manitoba Film and Music and the Manitoba Arts Council for their financial support for this award.
