MIPTV Spotlight: Canada Media Fund

Canadian producers will be participating in In Development, a MIPTV and CANNESERIES initiative regarding drama co-production opportunities.

Drama is “a genre in which Canada has a great deal of co-production experience,” says Valerie Creighton, the president and CEO of the Canada Media Fund. Canadian producers will also introduce a number of short-format shows at CANNESERIES, along with a showcase of three VR projects in the VR library.

Additionally, Maya Kodes, a holographic experience and virtual singer, will interact with and entertain guests at the Canada Pavilion. “This 360-degree, fully integrated approach speaks to the growing Canadian presence at international events like MIPTV, where Canadian creators have been able to develop unique business opportunities, taking Canadian content around the world,” says Creighton. “Canada is known for providing a very competitive environment for television and digital media production and co-production.”
