Kellie Ann Benz of the National Screen Institute has updated their list of funding sources for short films in Canada.

“In our third year of updating this funding list, we note an extraordinary amount of Canadian films getting made and programmed into festivals around the world. This is thrilling.”

She lists national and provincial sources of money, marketing, training and cash prizes for shorts and their makers.

See the list here.

My take: join your local media co-op, learn everything you can and make your first short for coffee money, because you can. Then graduate to these programs so you can step up your game and actually pay your collaborators.
