Financial Participation
- The Shaw Rocket Fund holds 3 application deadlines per fiscal year (fiscal year runs September 1 through August 31).
- Applications will be accepted starting 4 weeks prior to the deadline date up to 5:00 pm MT on the deadline date.
- Historically, the Shaw Rocket Fund invests an average of $250,000 in 13 x ½ hour episode series, made-for-television movies or feature films. An investment higher than historical averages will be considered if the business plan, primarily the recoupment proposal, supports the request.
- In respect to low budget productions, Rocket Fund investment will be based on the reasonable needs of the production, and will be considered on a project-by-project basis.
- An Atlantic Regional Incentive is available to Atlantic producers. The Atlantic Regional Incentive is in addition to the Shaw Rocket Fund equity investment and the amount is based on the financing needs of the production, to a maximum of $50,000. The production must:
- be produced by a company based in one of the Atlantic provinces which has a majority (51%) ownership in the production; and
- spend at least 51% of the production costs within Atlantic Canada.
- International treaty co-productions qualify for funding.
