The Bell Fund has distributed $5.35 million in grants across 36 projects, the financier announced Monday, including the third season of Big Brother Canada, the second season of Cold Water Cowboys and each series’ accompanying digital media projects.

Insight Productions’ Big Brother Canada and Paperny Entertainment’s Cold Water Cowboys were among the projects selected to receive funding under the Bell Fund’s production program.

Big Brother Canada‘s accompanying digital media project, produced by Secret Location, will feature live video streams from the house and a game where users can earn points by making predictions about the show and then spend those points to influence the program. The Cold Water Cowboys digital project, from Switch United Design, is a fishing strategy game that can be played online and on mobile devices.

Other projects that received funding through the production program include Banger Films’ Gaming Show (In My Parents Garage), season three of Saving Hope and its online series, Rhombus Media’s Songs of Freedom and Intuitive Pictures’ animated documentary The Wanted 18.

On the French-language side, the television projects and corresponding digital media elements selected to receive funding through the production fund include Productions Pixcom’s Code Max, Oasis Animation’s Grandes Geules, Productions Passez GO’s Le Chalet and Groupe Fair-Play and Slalom Productions’ Le Reve de Champlain.

Projects (broadcast and digital) that received funding from the financier under its low budget production program include the second season of Farmhouse Productions’ Brojects, Temple Street Productions’ Camp X, Great Pacific TV’s Game of Homes, the second season of Slap Happy Cartoons’ Nerds and Monsters and the final season of CBC’s Republic of Doyle. Two TVO documentaries also received funding under the program: My Millennial Life from Makin’ Movies Inc and Canada and Our Guns, from Hit Play Productions. French language projects that received funding from the low budget production program include Zone3’s PaparaGilles, Blimp Tele’s VolteFace and Productions Kenya’s Maigrir pour gagner.

Picbois Productions’ Justice received a grant through the Bell Fund’s development program, while six projects picked up financing through the fund’s TV development online program, including LaRue Productions’ True Dating Stories, Guru Animation’s Nemesis and Frantic Films’ Canada in the Frame.

Finally, six events received funding under the professional development program, including the Banff Festival Foundations’ Digi Awards 2014, the Ottawa International Animation Festival’s animation conference and the 2014 edition of the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival.
