CMF supports 19 diverse projects with $7.8M

The Canada Media Fund last week said it contributed more than $7.8 million to a total of 19 projects, in either the Francophone Minority Program or the Anglophone Minority Incentive.

A total of 13 projects in the Francophone Minority Program received around $4.8 million in its first round of funding.

Those projects include Motel Monstre IV and Mini-TFO, which both received $550,000, BRBR and Pour un soir seulement VIII, which both received $400,000, and Sceaux d’Utrecht, which received $379,063.

The full list of funded projects is available here.

And six projects received $3 million in the Anglophone Minority Program, a new incentive for 2013-2014 to encourage English-language content creation by Quebec production companies.

19-2 and Dog Who Stopped the War 3D both received $1,000,000, while Licence to Drill IV received $461,532.

The full list of funded projects is available here. The CMF last week said that due to high demand, the program is closed for 2013-2014  and the envelope for the initiative has been depleted.
