Solomon Nagler, filmmaker and professor of Media Arts and Film at NSCAD, has received the Intentional Initiative Award from Research Nova Scotia to further his work with the Community Mobile Media Lab (CMML). This project is an innovative model or co-creation, training and mentorship which involved leaving the university, traveling to communities, learning from them, and nurturing filmmakers who didn鈥檛 necessarily have a similar opportunity to go to university and register for four years of education. The award comes as a $220,000 grant from Research Nova Scotia over the course of three years. This will help the CMML to fund projects, hire mentors and acquire more training materials for participants.听

The CMML aims to produce a 鈥榤icro-films festival,鈥� which will showcase the works of participants and hopefully put budding filmmakers on the map.Hosting these screening events would be a way to celebrate the participants, their labour and the communities that they are a part of.听
