The Kaizen Creative Film Festival is the first ever film festival created by FLYING ART STUDIOS®
ā
This year we will be curating a platform for filmmakers and creatives to showcase their work on the big screen at the The Commons, Collingwood Private Theatre. This is a great opportunity for both established and up-and-coming filmmakers to have their work presented in front of an audience and to connect with like-minded creatives from our community.
