Are non-BC resident individuals or companies eligible for British Columbia Film programs?
A. British Columbia Film programs require that the applicant is a resident of British Columbia, and/or that the applicant company is BC owned and controlled. However, as a Canadian or international producer, you can partner with BC resident filmmakers in an international treaty or interprovincial co-production, and access British Columbia Film funding.
