Aspiring Indigenous filmmakers in BC far outnumber those in other provinces, according to Creative BC and the Indigenous Screen Office (ISO).
In response to those findings, Rogers and Creative BC are launching a 1 million dollar fund to support Indigenous storytelling in BC.
ISO will distribute the funds, touted as a top-up for their BC-based Development Grant Program.
The funds will go to support film projects which increase access and representation for Indigenous led producers and companies in the domestic film industry.
Creative BC opened the recruiting process today for a knowledgeable Indigenous lead for the program, which is the first targeted Indigenous Screen fund for the group.
