CMF, SODEC reopen their predevelopment program for television series based on literary adaptations
Toronto and Montreal, September 24, 2024 – The Canada Media Fund (CMF) and the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC) today announced the reopening of our Predevelopment Program for Television Series Based on Literary Adaptations.
The program supports the predevelopment of French-language fiction, documentary, and animated series for children and youth based on adaptations of Quebec literary works. It allows companies to mobilize the expertise needed to pre-develop one or more projects that have not yet received support from a broadcaster, distributor, or development financing, and facilitates the financial commitment of partners in the subsequent stages of development and production.
Applications for funding must be submitted through SODEC's SOD@ccès secure application portal between October 18 and November 20, 2024, at 11:59 p.m.
