The fall deadline for the Canadian Film Centre’s CFC Features program is fast approaching.
Up to $600,000.00 is up for grabs.
The tiers are the Development & Packaging Lab, the Production Lab (The Movie Network and Movie Central) and the Distribution Lab (eOne).

CFC Features is looking to invest in filmmakers from across Canada with engaging stories for the big screen.
Some new program highlights include:
- A partnership with Entertainment One, who will now be the domestic and international distributor
- Production entities retain copyright of their films
- Production entities can shoot anywhere in Canada
- Production budget levels have increased
- Filmmakers at various levels of their careers are encouraged to apply
- Writer/director/producer fees have increased
- Production entities can bring additional financing to the table
- Mentorship will be tailored to the sensibilities and individual needs of the participants
My take: if you’ve got a second draft script and a solid production team ready, go for it.
The entry fee is $100.
