The Rogers Indigenous Film Fund (RIFF) Program gives companies and creators financing assistance for early development work of a new project, or ‘next phase’ early development work of an existing project. Eligible applicants can apply for up to $20,000 to cover qualifying activities such as research and development, community engagement, as well as scriptwriting. Designed in close consultation with the Indigenous community and industry, eligible filmmakers and creatives can now apply.
Supported privately by Rogers Group of Funds and administered by Creative BC, the Rogers Indigenous Film Fund (RIFF) provides funding support to emerging, early, and mid-career Indigenous filmmakers and creatives to develop new works or to continue early development of a proposed work.
