Marketing / Facilitating relationships between BC production companies and national & international co-financing partners

Passport to Markets

Passport to Markets provides financial support to BC film and television companies so that they can attend international markets, and co-production conferences/exchanges. This fund helps offset travel, accommodation, and registration expenses. Applicable market/festival sites are designated by BC Film + Media and individual calls for applications are released for each site.

Applications are considered from BC resident producers (who have professional experience in the film and television industry) who have been pre-selected to attend a market/festival site. Applications are also considered from BC resident sales agents or distributors on a case-by-case basis.
