B.C.’s Interactive Fund has distributed $641,000 across 14 projects, including funding for Vancouver studio RocketChicken Interactive, Turtlebox Productions and Mind Festival Learning.

The fund, which is financially backed by Creative B.C. and the B.C. Arts Council, gives up to $50,000 per recipient to support the production of interactive digital media content owned and created by B.C. companies.
