Eleven B.C. recipients announced for first round of funding
This funding supports activities such as research and development, community engagement, and scriptwriting. Applicants and recipients will have access to online professional development resources throughout the duration of the RIFF Program and beyond.
“Being an independent filmmaker who makes work from an experiential point of view, financial support through development is key to not only ensuring myself and my communities are accurately portrayed and represented on screen but also acts as proof that our stories and experiences are valued in an industry that has histories of being inherently extractive,” said Justin Ducharme one of the RIFF program recipients in a statement.
“Having the support from Creative B.C. and the Rogers Indigenous Film Fund to take my script through a final community consultation phase gives me the chance to bring community members directly into the creative process and have their voices and opinions heard in regard to the stories we tell and consume.”Article contentInformation provided by Creative B.C.
