This incentive is subsequent to a partnership between both organizations to encourage the development of convergent content (television and related digital media). The budget for the incentive is CDN$200,000 ($100,000 each from the CMF and SP Cine).

The incentive will be awarded to eligible projects on a first-come, first-served basis until resources for the incentive are depleted or until the application deadline, whichever comes first. If several projects are competing for limited resources, the funding partners reserve the right to select projects or offer a lesser amount of funding to some or all eligible projects.
