Creative BC: Passport to Markets

Passport to Markets is an ongoing program that provides travel support to B.C.-based film, TV, digital media, media producers, and sales agents to access key international markets, conferences, co-production and co-financing events.

Creative BC’s support offsets a portion of travel, accommodation and registration expenses. This program is intended to assist producers explore co-production partnerships and develop relationships with broadcasters, distributors and financiers. Sales agents are able to exploit their portfolio of film and tv projects, and attempt to secure pre-sales and/or distribution rights for various territories around the world. Applicable market sites are designated by Creative BC. Please see the Markets List tab on the PTM webpage for a list of upcoming eligible markets and specific application periods.

Eligibility
Creative BC will provide financial assistance to selected individuals to help offset registration, travel and accommodation costs. Creative BC’s contribution must not exceed final approved eligible costs. Creative BC reserves the right to reduce the award following review of the final costs. If the producer should receive complimentary conference registration or travel from the market organizers, those amounts are considered to be outside of the final reportable eligible costs. You may only include cash expenses for which a receipt can be provided.

A maximum participation of between $1,000 and $2,500 is set by Creative BC depending on the location and costs of the event, and represents no more than 50% of the applicant’s final cash expenditures to attend. Successful applicants will receive up to 100% of Creative BC’s contribution upon submission of a Final Report (see ‘Reporting’ below) and all cost receipts after attendance at the market pending review of expense eligibility.

Reporting
