High demand for English Regional Pre-Development program

Toronto, December 18, 2012—The CMF announced today that the English Regional Pre-Development Program, launched earlier this month, is now closed due to a high number of eligible applications received. The CMF will no longer be accepting applications from producers who wish to receive funds for pre-development as part of this program.

The English Regional Pre-Development Program, designed in consultation industry stakeholders, is intended to support producers in their preparation of documents to present to broadcasters at the early stages of development.
