CMF provides $4M in funding to 54 companies through our Slate Development Pilot Program
Toronto, June 22, 2023 – The Canada Media Fund (CMF) is announcing an investment of $4,050,000 in 54 audiovisual production companies by way of our Slate Development Pilot Program (SDPP). Each recipient will receive $75,000 to develop a maximum of three projects.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Recipients of SDPP funding in fiscal 2021-2022 are requested to submit final reports for the first year of the pilot program by June 30, 2023. For any questions, please contact the CMF Program Administrator at cmf.fmc.coordination@telefilm.ca
The Slate Development Pilot Program offers more flexibility to eligible applicants and allows them to choose and fund their development projects without the requirement of an attached Canadian broadcaster or other triggering entity. In fiscal year 2022-2023, the CMF widened the program’s reach by offering an additional, selective access point with more flexible eligibility criteria for companies that are owned and controlled by individuals who identify as First Nations, Inuit, Métis, or members of racialized communities.
34 companies will be developing projects in English, and 20 in French. The following companies have received funding:
