Island Media Arts Cooperative (IMAC) is now officially named FilmPEI<\/strong>. The name change reflects the growing role of the organization to support and sustain media arts and to build a vibrant film industry on Prince Edward Island.<\/p>\n

Along with the new name, FilmPEI is getting a new home and asking Islanders to help them build it. They have launched a crowdfunding campaign <\/strong>http:\/\/fundrazr.com\/supportfilmpei<\/a>\u00a0,
\nwhich runs from February 1 to 28, <\/strong>and hope to raise $10,000<\/strong> to help pay for the rebrand and the move to the new space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Province of PEI\u2019s recent funding announcement to develop the film industry, it is an exciting time for film on the Island,\u201d says Renee Laprise, Executive Director of FilmPEI. \u201cA strong film industry means more jobs for all parts of the industry, from actors and set builders, to caterers and drivers. It also means more customers for restaurants and local businesses all across the Island.\u201d<\/p>\n

FilmPEI\u2019s new space will include a production studio, sound booth, animation studio, editing suite, event space and more. It will be the creative hub of PEI\u2019s film community: a place to support and encourage filmmakers at all levels: to inspire excellence in film and video; and to act as a resource for the wider arts community of PEI.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already received a number of fantastic videos of support, which we will share throughout the campaign,\u201d says Laprise. \u201cWe hope more people will join in supporting FilmPEI to build PEI\u2019s film future.\u201d<\/p>\n

FilmPEI (formerly Island Media Arts Cooperative) provides a pool of talent, resources, equipment and space for productions and to facilitate creative careers on Prince Edward Island. www.filmpei.com<\/p>\n
