Toronto and Montreal, February 27, 2025 — The Canada Media Fund (CMF) and the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC) today announced an investment of $466,259 in 14 projects adapting Quebec literary works through the Predevelopment Program for Television Series Based on Literary Adaptations.
