Canada Media Fund celebrates 15 years of impact with new campaign

Toronto, July 23, 2025 — The Canada Media Fund (CMF) is marking our 15th anniversary with a new campaign celebrating the people and projects that have shaped Canada’s screen-based industries. To kick off the festivities, we had the honour of interviewing some of the most inspiring voices in the business. 

From visionary producers and creators to leaders of game-changing organizations, we asked our guests to share stories and insights about the CMF and our CEO Valerie Creighton, their connection to CMF funding, and how we can build an even stronger CMF in the future—and we weren’t disappointed.  

A huge thank you to the talented filmmaker and director Youssef Shoufan, whose thoughtful and detailed approach brought this project to life. We’re also deeply grateful to every guest who took time out of their busy schedules to sit down with us. 

Fifteen years in, the CMF remains committed to championing Indigenous and Canadian content, supporting bold creators, and helping shape the future of storytelling in Canada and around the world. 

Over the next several months, we’ll be showcasing compelling soundbites from these conversations across our social media channels—so stay tuned.
