Details

Red Sky Cinema is seeking to enhance its understanding of the funding landscape for film production in Ontario. The goal of this project is to conduct comprehensive research into the various funding opportunities available for filmmakers in the region. This includes government grants, private funding sources, and industry-specific financial support programs. The project will involve analyzing eligibility criteria, application processes, and the potential impact of each funding source on film production.

The project is designed for students in a film studies or media production program, allowing them to apply their knowledge of the film industry and research methodologies.
