Good news for Canadian filmmakers from Telefilm Canada.
The agency is doubling the number of projects it supports each year – through a program to boost emerging talent.
50 films will now get support.
There will also be automatic second-feature financing for filmmakers who produce internationally recognized first features.
The improvements are part of changes to the five-year-old funding project which has been re-named the The Talent to Watch Program.
Successful short-film makers graduating to feature films will also get assistance – and creators from all Canadian regions will be helped – as Telefilm encourages more diverse participation.
