Want to make a feature or webseries with Telefilm? Here’s how to qualify for their Micro-Budget Production Program (up to $127,500 from Telefilm).
The process is two-tiered. As a partner in this program IMAC is asked to recommend 1 feature film and 1 webseries project in English language and 1 feature film and 1 webseries project in French language. In order to do this fairly all submissions are reviewed by an IMAC jury. The filmmakers selected are then given notes to improve their application and that application along with a recommendation letter from IMAC are sent to the Telefilm jury where the final decision is made. Winners are typically notified by mid April.
The deadline for the IMAC jury is Jan 22, 2018. Please fill out the intake form and include with submission to director@imac.coop. NOTE: AN UPDATED INTAKE FORM WILL BE UP SHORTLY.
Please contact IMAC if you have any questions.902- 892-3131 or director@imac.coop.
