The Marketing Fund, funded by Manitoba Film & Music, was initiated to help film and video artists fund the marketing and distribution of their works by contributing towards the cost of promotional materials and other relevant expenses. Items such as preview DVDs, professional screening tapes and prints, ads, website design, as well as festival entry fees and postage are fundable expenses. This program is open to film and video makers with a variety of different experience levels. Projects must be completed within 3 months of application.
Applicants must be residents of Manitoba and members of the Winnipeg Film Group in good standing. Applicants must be the creator/director of the project, and must maintain full artistic and financial control of the project; producers are not eligible to apply.
Applicants cannot hold more than one Marketing Fund at any given time; once one award is closed off, an applicant is eligible to apply for another project. Applicants can have concurrent Marketing Fund and Production Fund Awards.
The submission deadline is Thursday April 10 @ 4 PM.
