The Canada Media Fund (CMF) has invested over $13 million in development and production financing across 47 projects through four of its initiatives: the Corus-CMF “Page to Pitch” Program, the WildBrain-CMF Kids & Family Development Program, its Web Series Program and the Commercial Projects Program.

All told, the “Page to Pitch” envelope – which helps fund the creative and business activities of in development TV projects with a Canadian broadcaster attached – saw the organization commit $433,000 towards seven French-language and three English-language projects.

The most funding in the program was awarded to New Brunswick’s Productions du milieu for Eulalie, which received $65,247. Close behind, Mega Pets from Quebec’s Divertissement EW and Corbin & the Squirrels from Blue Ant Media-owned Saloon Media secured $63,334 each.

Meanwhile, Galapagos X from B.C.’s Big Bad Boo Studios, the prodco behind the animated preschool kids series 16 Hudson, nabbed $61,359 from the fund. Last year, the company’s project Galapagos X was among the select few to receive funding from the inaugural edition of the CMF-SRF Kids Digital Animated Series Program, an initiative dedicated towards supporting the creation of Canadian digital animated series for young audiences on digital platforms.

Other projects and producers that walked away with coin from the fund include: Mademoiselle C. from Quebec’s Salambo Productions ($54,531); 2 bleus from Quebec’s Maki Media ($31,349); Hells Angels – La rafle from Quebec’s Groupe Fair-Play ($30,020); Blackman et Rabbin from Quebec’s Productions Sardine ($29,505).

Introduced last summer, the fund aims to assist the development of Canadian kids and family content from new and diverse producers. The first edition of this program saw a total of $464,000 go towards nine children’s and youth programs and one drama series.

Notably, the $56,000 was awarded to three projects: Mambo Attitude from Toronto’s Rusty Halo Productions; The Book of Negroes: The Africville Years from Toronto’s Conquering Lion Pictures; and Le duc de Godendard from Quebec’s 10e Ave Productions.
