Fund Type
The Independent Production Fund was established in 1991 as a private Foundation with an endowment now valued at $ 32 M from Maclean Hunter Ltd. The revenues generated by the endowment and recoupment from investments are used to support the production of Canadian drama series. The Web Drama Series Program was undertaken as an experimental project in 2010. This program has been extended to 2014.
- The intention of the Fund is to assist independent producers / creators to finance the production of original drama series created initially for the web. The Independent Production Fund intends to explore the potential for high quality, story-driven drama with new and innovative narrative forms. Successful properties may subsequently be exploited on other platforms such as television, either in their original format or through the exploitation of derivative rights.
