Equity + Emerging Development

Reel Focus BC

The Equity and Emerging Development Program aims to provide direct and targeted support to emerging and/or equity seeking B.C. filmmakers. Creators can receive a grant of up to $10,000 to cover the cost of bringing together a development team to do research, develop a concept or write a script. The grants are available for a wide range of content including scripted feature length films or series, animated features or series, and documentaries/factual one-offs or series.
 
The goal of this program is to support equity and diversity in B.C.’s domestic motion picture sector by increasing access to funding for underrepresented filmmakers.

 Open for Applications

Applications to the Equity and Emerging Development Program open on January 29th and close on March 5th. Please sign up to the Spotlight on BC newsletter to receive program updates.
