Independent Production Fund (IPF) Web Drama Series 2014 Short-list results
The Independent Production Fund evaluators in Toronto and Montreal reviewed the 188 applications
for web series funding which were submitted this year from across Canada. Nearly 40 industry
professionals, consultants and advanced media students selected a short-list of twenty-three (23)
projects, including 14 proposed English-language and 9 French-language web series. In addition,
approximately a dozen web series previously funded by the IPF will be eligible to apply for second
season financing. The selected projects are now invited to submit complete Production Applications by
May 5, 2014. The Board of Directors of the IPF will make final funding decisions in June.
