As Hollywood location shooting in Canada slowly reopens, the country's overstretched COVID-19 rescue funds for indie film and TV producers has received another injection from the federal government.
The Canada Media Fund, a key investor in local TV series using in part public funds, announced another $19 million for its COVID-19 Emergency Support Fund on Thursday.
The CMF offered another $88.8 million to local producers as part of its emergency relief fund in May. The latest cash drop for pandemic-challenged film and TV producers will go to those who have yet to receive emergency support from the feds in Ottawa.
