The Development program supports production at the development and pre-development stages. This program is part of the CMF's convergent stream. Thus, projects funded through this program must include content to be developed for distribution on at least two platforms, one of which must be television.

Funding Amounts?

• For the Television Component of the project, funding will cover 75% of the eligible costs for development, up to $200K for all phases combined and all eligible types of programming.

  

• For the Digital Media Component of the project, funding will cover 75% of the eligible costs in development, up to $50K, for all phases combined.
• For Digital Media Components with eligible costs under $5K, the eligible costs related to the development of this component must be combined with the development eligible costs of the Television Component and be presented in one single application (including budget).
