TORONTO – The Canada Media Fund (CMF) is launching a new pilot program designed to stimulate digital media co-productions between Canadian producers and their international counterparts.
The $350K Digital Media Co-Production Incentive is available to production companies who apply to the incentive between October 1 through November 26, 2013, or until the funds are depleted. Eligible projects could be a digital media component of a convergent project as set out in the Convergent Stream programs or an eligible project under the Experimental Stream. Details on the guidelines are available here.
“Canada is recognized by other countries as a leader in the production of digital media content such as games, applications and web series that are enjoyed by consumers in Canada and all over the world,” said president and CEO Valerie Creighton, in the announcement. “By encouraging Canadian digital media producers to partner with other countries, we help them gain access to new markets and funding opportunities.”
