Seminar Series to Assess the Financial Landscape of Digital Media in Canada

Seminar Series to Assess the Financial Landscape of Digital Media in Canada:
With the recent launch of the Canada Media Fund, the financing landscape for Canadian film and television has changed dramatically. New media extensions are part of the new reality and there are a LOT of questions that are probably on your mind:

  • When should I start planning?
  • What are the implications for my production?
  • Who should I work with?
  • How will this help my bottom line?
  • Where can I find out more?

To answer these and many other questions, the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund, the CMPA and Zeros 2 Heroes Media are continuing the seminar series that has been held in cities across the country. Speakers in Toronto will include:

  • Andra Scheffer, Executive Director, Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund
  • Shawn Bailey, Director, Chocolate Liberation Front
  • Jessica Clark-Bojin, Head of Entertainment Business, VFS
  • Johnny Kalangis, Creative Director, Marble Media, and CFC Media Lab Alumnus
  • Matt Toner, President, Zeros 2 Heroes Media

These speakers will share years of experience working with convergent media and provide the inside track on how best to advance your production. With the next Bell New Media Fund and CMF windows fast approaching, it is time to finally figure out the best way to go digital.
