In the first of a two-part interview, CMF president and CEO Valerie Creighton and chief strategy officer Kelly Wilhelm discuss steadying the ship in 2020, what updates to the Broadcasting Act could mean for the funder, and how the organization will support the industry as it transitions from COVID support funding into a post-pandemic future.

To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the Canada Media Fund, Playback is rolling out a week-long series taking a deep dive into the organization’s impact since its launch in 2010. Throughout the week you will see long-form features, video interviews with key execs, insight from producers on how they’ve grown their businesses with the CMF’s support, and more. The second part of this video interview will run in Playback on Friday.
