We are principally a production company that produces our proprietary content, but are also well positioned to work with other production companies from other jurisdictions under the auspices of International Co-Productions or CRTC Co-Ventures.

The former stipulates that Canadian and foreign producers, jointly produce content, each contributing creatively, technically and financially to the project. These productions enjoy national status in each country and are an excellent way of scaling up global resonance for outputs from such partnerships. International treaty co-productions must be approved by Telefilm Canada and the recognized authority in any of the 60 partnering countries with which Canada currently has co-production agreements.

On the other hand, we are also able to facilitate CRTC Co-Ventures with producers from a country with which Canada has no official co-production treaty under the auspices of a CRTC-certified co-venture. These productions don’t qualify for Canadian-content tax credits, but do qualify for production services tax credit and are classified as “Canadian content” for domestic broadcast purposes. In this scenario, as a recognised Canadian producer participating in a co-venture, we must have equal decision-making responsibility and retain 50% share of investment and profits, while the foreign producer can own 100% of copyright.
