New ATVF web site available
A new website is now available for this year's Advanced Television & Film students, Media Arts students and grads. It can be found at:
www.atvf2003.ca
The new site features a message board for easier communication between students. However, the "Contacts," "News," "Downloads," and "Links" sections are not yet up and running. The www.atvf.ca web site will continue to be maintained until this can be completed.
Call for film entries
The Government of Canada will be opening a new Embassy building in Berlin, Germany in 2004.

If you are interested in submitting a film under the theme "Canada. The Innovation Nation" please visit www.canada.de. Please submit your film by March 30, 2004 together with the entry form.

Local actor seeking work
"Hello:
I am an actor/improviser from Hamilton and member of the Casting Workbook online site. I would like to offer my headshot and resume for the films being shot as part of the Sheridan program.
I see the listings on the CW site, but they are often not accompanied by contact information. You might also recommend to the students shooting these films to leave a contact email address in the scripts they put online.
Could you please let me know who I can direct my query to for further submissions?
Cheers,
Kevin Patrick Robbins"
