English Regional Production Bonus

First Opening Date: Due to a high demand for the English Regional Production Bonus program, the CMF will no longer be accepting applications from applicants for the First Opening Date.

The English Regional Production Bonus is designed to support one of the CMF’s mandates of funding production across the country. As part of the CMF’s Convergent Stream, projects funded must include content to be produced for distribution on at least two platforms, one of which must be television.
