The Joey Awards-logo.png

The Joey Awards goal is to reward young actors and actresses in Canada for their hard work and dedication to their craft. We offer a high-quality red carpet awards gala, where each nominee will be recognized during our parade of stars. We liaison with the Canadian performing arts industry, and those in it, that have a direct and valuable contribution to youth working in performing arts.

The Joey Awards recognizes even the smallest of roles and bookings, as no role is ever insignificant. A young performer who books a job puts an incredible amount of work into the audition process and should be recognized for this. No role booked is ever small!

By honouring the young performers, we also are bringing family and friends together to spend a quality day with one another, promoting how important the support of these people are in a child performer's life.

The Joey Awards works with many sponsors in order to achieve these goals, and provide quality acting scholarship prizes.

The Joey Awards will use a variety of adjudicators to ensure all entries are judged with honesty and fairness.

The Joey Awards also plans to educate parents of young performers on keeping their young performer safe, how to properly use social media and also keep their young performer's self-esteem intact in a business full of rejection.

iFilmGroup is proud to share the news that iFilmGroup member George Crosby is now an Original Kids Theatre Company main cast member. George worked very hard preparing for his Audition for OKTC. His mom says he couldn't have done it without the help of his vocal coach Paula Thomas, and most definitely without the support of his favourite acting coach Lesley Chapman from the Elgin Theatre Guild (ETG). The Crosby Family is all super excited to see where his journey takes him !

iFilmGroup has cast George in several movie productions. “He’s not only a stage actor, but, a movie actor and we are proud of George's accomplishments. He has attended workshops with iFilmGroup and continues to be instructed by the various training programs at ETG,” said Matthew Marshall, movie director. “We are looking forward to working with him in the future as he continues his acting journey at all levels," said Don Hickey, Community Engagement Manager, iFilmGroup.

iFilmGroup is looking forward to the release of the movie “Not Ready” written by Donald Michael Hickey and directed by Matthew Marshall, where George plays a very important role.
