There is a well-documented gender imbalance in the film and television industry, and women are still significantly under-represented, especially in creative and financial authority positions. This is especially true for Indigenous, Black, and women of colour. This inequity has negative implications for the sector and society. Fewer women employed as directors or writers directly correlates to more stereotypical portrayals of women. St. John's International Women's Film Festival was launched in 1989 in response to this reality with a bold vision of supporting and promoting women's creative work in screen-based industries locally and internationally.

Think Tank Training Centre was born out of a passion for sharing the industry knowledge with the next generation of character design, animation and VFX artists. Ranked in the top 3 best creative and entertainment schools in the world by the prestigious Rookies online community in 2021, at Think Tank, everyone is part of a community that embraces you like family. There’s massive support for each other within and beyond the programs. Our training approach is smart, meticulous and laser focused. We put in the effort and sweat the details to get it just right. We are bursting at the seams with passion and creativity and while on one hand we’re rigorous and calculated, on the other we’re fluid and fast-paced with more twists and turns than a Mario Kart race.

Founded in 2005 and located in North Vancouver, Think Tank is just steps away from an abundance of leading gaming, creative arts, technology companies, and the production houses of Hollywood North. We offer a fully immersive, experiential learning model in our coveted on-campus programs, as well as a more flexible and individually tailored on-line program, both of which are steeped in the proven Think Tank methodology. Our working industry instructors and mentors, relevant curriculum, distinctive mentorship model, purposefully designed facilities, and one-of-a-kind online program delivery platform provide every advantage for graduates to make a successful transition from student to qualified working professional.
