The National Screen Institute – Canada (NSI) and Telefilm Canada, in association with Zeros 2 Heroes Media, is calling for applicants for its newest training program NSI playWRITE.
NSI playWRITE is intended to give writers an opportunity to break into the video game industry as narrative designers and the chance to earn an internship with a Canadian game developer.
Organizers say it is the perfect program for film or television writers, novelists, short story writers or playwrights who have wondered how to break into the video game industry.
The program is not intended for those who already have a design credit in the game industry. Those who have previously worked as a game designer and have a design credit on a shipped title will not be considered.
"We're extremely excited to launch this innovative program with the creativity of the Zeros 2 Heroes team and Telefilm Canada support," said Susan Millican, CEO at the National Screen Institute. "NSI training is proven in the film and television industry and we're eager to expand into the video game world. We've identified the need for quality writers in a genre that continues to grow rapidly."
