CMF-ISO: Interactive and Immersive Program (Appy by November 4)

Indigenous screen-based creators can apply to receive funding for the development and production of video games, AR/VR/MR works, apps, and other interactive and immersive projects.

Indigenous storytellers have always been at the forefront of new technologies and ways of creating media. This program provides funding support to Indigenous screen-based creators for the development and production of Interactive and/or Immersive projects. Applicants to this program may undertake project work in the development and production of high-calibre video​​ games, AR/VR/MR works, apps, and immersive and/or interactive projects that include audiovisual content. The Indigenous Screen Office (ISO) and the Canada Media Fund (CMF) are partnering on this program to provide additional funding to successful applicants.

Successful applicants who are funded by the ISO and meet the CMF-specific requirements will be eligible to receive additional funding from the CMF. Following confirmation that their project has been approved by the ISO, recipients will enter into a contractual agreement with both ISO and CMF for separate contributions to the project. Applicants will be asked to select if they would like to access the additional CMF funding in their application.
