Canada New Media Fund
Telefilm Canada backs 44 projects that lead the way with their innovation
Montreal, July 25, 2003 – Telefilm Canada is pleased to announce that it has agreed to support 44 cutting-edge projects for its first round of Canada New Media Fund decisions for fiscal 2003-2004.
Of the accepted projects, 18 are for pre-development/development (which includes market research and development of prototypes), 12 for production, 13 for marketing and 1 for distribution. The projects accepted for development, production or marketing originate from all regions of the country and cover a wide range of both media and content, such as CD-ROMs, interactive DVD-ROMs, convergent Web sites, console games, multimedia installations and wireless products.
“The products we have chosen to invest in offer diverse content and are geared for success, with a number of them including marketing cross-promotions with popular television programs and consumer products, so that what is produced can connect with audiences,” said Richard Stursberg, Telefilm Canada’s Executive Director. “For the fall round, we will be making several key changes to the guidelines, following our Canada New Media Fund Advisory Committee meeting in June, which will ensure that we have an industry initiative that is more than ever in tune with our clients as we work towards the renewal of the Fund.”
The next application deadline for fiscal 2003-2004 is September 23, 2003.
