Hello,

If you're in the audiovisual production industry, this program is tailor-made for you. Imagine receiving up to $500,000 in non-repayable contributions or an equity investment. This funding can cover up to 49% of your production or post-production costs for an English-language feature-length fictional film. That's nearly half of your budget taken care of, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your project.

The best part? This is a non-repayable contribution, meaning you won't have to worry about future financial obligations. Use this support to hire top talent, secure prime locations, or enhance your production quality. It's a financial boost that lets you elevate your project without the burden of repayment.

This opportunity is open to all Canadian production companies, regardless of size or revenue. Whether you're just starting out or are well-established, you can benefit from this straightforward and generous support. It's a chance to bring your film to life with the backing you need.

This program offers two main types of financing: a non-repayable contribution and an equity investment. The non-repayable contribution does not require repayment, making it an excellent opportunity to fund your project without the burden of a traditional loan. Alternatively, the equity investment option involves Telefilm acquiring a stake in your project, where the terms will vary based on the specifics of your agreement.

Repayment and Interest Rates:

• For the equity investment, the repayment terms and any associated interest or returns depend on the commercial success of the film. Specific details will be outlined in your individual contract.

Eligible Expenses:

• Funds can be used to cover up to 49% of the production or post-production costs. This includes, but is not limited to, crew salaries, equipment rentals, post-production services, and other direct production costs.

Restrictions on Use of Funds:

• The financing cannot be used for marketing expenses, film distribution costs, or other non-production related expenses.

Fees:

• There are no application fees for the non-repayable contribution. However, specific fees related to the equity investment option will be detailed in the contractual agreement, depending on the structure of the investment.
