Funding
Ontario Creates provides funding for film and digital series via the IP Fund and for the film, digital series and television industry through international business development initiatives and the Global Market Development program.
Ontario Creates has created a range of programs and resources to provide financial, strategic and research support to Ontario’s cultural entrepreneurs and established trade and event organizations from the film, digital series & TV production industry.
Ontario Creates’ support provides opportunities for film and digital series producers to develop and produce new projects, and for film, digital series & TV producers to develop international partnerships, export their content, and access new markets to grow their business. Support is also available to established trade organizations for events and activities that stimulate the growth of Ontario's film & TV production industry.
Business Intelligence Program grants are also available to incorporated not-for-profit industry organizations undertaking initiatives that support or complement the mandate of the Ontario Creates.
