The federal government pledged $850,000 toward the Northern Ontario film industry during a media conference in downtown Sudbury on Tuesday.
The goal is for the funding to promote and attract private sector investment for music, film and television projects. Following Tuesday’s announcement, CION associate executive director Patrick O’Hearn told Sudbury.com the creative industries the non-profit organization supports are doing well this year, with numerous film and television productions on the go, employing local crews.
A recent pilot program in which 100 people were trained in the basics of film and television production and behind-the-scenes office work is slated to continue with another round this fall, in a better-defined form.
