Call for Entries: Canadian Creative Accelerator (CCA) Horror Fall 2025
The 2025 program will kick off in October 2025 with curated workshops, in-person meetings, and 1:1 mentorship across 1 month. The program will include two in-person weeks in Los Angeles. The programming will take place the weeks of October 6, 2025, and October 27, 2025.
This edition of the CCA will focus on production companies working in the horror film space that have received pre-development funding. Applicants should be established Canadian production companies with a varied slate of projects. A current project will be the main reference for selection. A jury of LA-based industry professionals will select 5 companies whose lead project has the most likelihood for success in the US market.
The lead project needs to be a horror film.
To be considered for this year’s cohort, your company needs to:
- Be domiciled in Canada
- Have previously produced horror films or films that have received international distribution.
- Be able to commit an executive to participate in two weeks of in-market, in-person program in the US in LA in October 2025.
Throughout this period, participants will have a unique opportunity to gain access to influential producers, financiers, distributors, and management companies in the US. Participants will take part in conversations with industry experts, networking event,s and one-on-one meetings. Only those who can commit to the full scope of the program should apply. All programming for this upcoming cohort will be in English.
Applications will be open until August 22, 2025 and the cohort will have a target announcement date of August 29, 2025. The announcement may be pushed to early September 2025, due to judging requirements.
We encourage applicants to apply in English, given that the judges are LA-based and we cannot assure that they will read or understand French. That said, if you would like to submit an application in French please email cal.info@international.gc.ca to discuss how we can best translate the application for the English judges.
If this program benefits your company and you qualify, we encourage you to apply below!!
