They include: comedian and filmmaker Bita Joudaki of CBC Gem’s “The Slowest Show;” co-creators Jabbari Weekes and Tichaona Tapambwa of CBC Gem’s “Next Stop;” actor, filmmaker, and Realwheels founding artistic director James Sanders; director Rama Rau of films “Honey Bee” and “League of Exotique Dancers;” writer and director Jeff Barnaby of “Blood Quantum;” and “Heartland” writer Adam Hussein.

The duo say they hope the program can springboard them to the next step in their career, and help them mentor the next generation of creators of colour. Advancing Voices is part of Netflix’s fund for creative equity, a five-year, $100-million investment established to offer more opportunities behind the camera for young, diverse creators.
