Partner With Us

Put your brand behind bold storytelling. Blood in the Snow + Deadly Exposure bring Canadian genre film to life for six nights every November at the Isabel Bader Theatre — and we're looking for partners who want to be part of it.

Ways to Partner

Keep Canadian Genre Film Fearless

Support bold films and back Canadian talent. Festival-wide backing funds programming and keeps BITS free to take real creative risks.

Get the Most Out of BITS

Reach filmmakers, meet industry, and engage genre fans across screenings, panels, and after-hours events.

BITS Programs

Partnerships can be built around the whole festival, or attached to a specific program:

BITS Nightshift

A new series of partner-hosted industry mixers running nightly, 6:00–10:00pm, November 16–21, 2026, at the Tranzac Club in downtown Toronto. Nightshift gives film organizations, community groups, media outlets, schools, and creative collectives the chance to host their own networking event within the festival environment — bringing new and emerging film professionals into the BITS community.

Interested in hosting instead? See the open Night Shift Events Coordinator role.
