Canada’s Walk of Fame’s Future Storytellers is a ground-breaking program presented by NBCUniversal, Seeing Red Media, and Cineplex. Since its launch in 2022, the initiative has dedicated itself to discovering and empowering the next generation of film talent. It aims to not only highlight the potential of young directors but also provide them with the resources and support they need to bring their visions to life and make their mark in the film and television industry.
For the 2025 Program year, we proudly showcase the work of four emerging directors and alumni of Humber Polytechnic and Sheridan College. They were selected to create vignettes profiling some of the most accomplished and notable figures in Canadian achievement, including:
- 2023 Canada’s Walk of Fame Inductee Tantoo Cardinal (Directed by Arushi Sabharwal, Humber)
- 2023 Canada’s Walk of Fame Inductee with Glass Tiger Alan Frew (Directed by Eddy Yang, Humber)
- 2023 Canada’s Walk of Fame Inductee Rick Mercer (Directed by Melissa Castillo, Humber)
- 2025 Canada’s Walk of Fame Inductee Dr. Samantha Nutt (Directed by Laila Vaga, Sheridan)
Highlights of Future Storytellers are featured in Cineplex pre-show entertainment nationwide, giving audiences across Canada a glimpse into these incredible works.
We invite you to explore the incredible pieces created by these Future Storytellers and be moved by their passion, creativity, and depth, as they pave the way for a more diverse and inclusive industry.
