Development Fund

The Super Channel Development Fund

Super Channel encourages the advancement of content by and about women, Aboriginal peoples, visible minorities and persons with disabilities.

While there are no particular genres or budget levels we prefer, we support projects we believe will find an audience in the theatrical marketplace. Our strong preference is to support projects in the later stages of development. We take a craft-based and market-driven approach to the analysis of the projects submitted.

Late stage development is a crucial time to build the future success of a project, but financing for this phase can be hard to access. As a result, we do not cap the amount we will contribute to a project’s development. Rather, we allow the level of our contribution to be established by the needs of the project, and we always welcome projects which have financing from other sources attached.

Our development financing takes the form of an interest free loan which is repayable on the first day of principal photography. When we support a project, we secure first look rights for the first broadcast window in English Canada, if those rights are available.

Before applying, please read our Guidelines, Terms & Conditions, and review the Document Checklist and Application Form to ensure you have the materials we need to receive in order for your project to be considered for funding.

To make a submission, you will be required to register and log in as a Super Channel Insider with Producer's status.

Thanks for your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you.
