Project Development Fund
The Project Development Fund provides 'market triggered' development financing for individual projects. Applications are evaluated on a first come/first served basis, and funding is available until the budget for the program is expended.
A non-recoupable advance, matching up to 50% of the eligible triggering agent commitment is available. Applicants must be British Columbia owned and controlled production companies. International treaty or interprovincial co-productions are eligible under this program.
Recipients of a Slate Development Fund financing envelope are not eligible to access the Project Development Fund.
The Project Development Fund is now open and accepting applications.
Notes for 2010 – 2011:
There are several changes to eligibility, especially concerning projects receiving support through the Canada Media Fund convergent stream. Please review the guidelines carefully before submitting an application.
Digital media projects (both standalone and convergent with a film or television project) are no longer supported through the Project Development Fund, but are eligible to apply for funding through the Digital Media Development Fund. Please refer to those guidelines for more information.
