OMDC offers new funding
The Ontario Media Development Corp. (OMDC) has launched a new Pioneering Content fund. Initial reaction from producers is positive about the six-project, $70,000-each cash grant intended to create new prototype content that incorporates material from at least two of the OMDC’s constituencies. While OMDC officials stress that it is not specifically a new media program, it’s clear the fund is tailor made for new media productions. Canadian NEW MEDIA will have further details about the program in its upcoming issue next week, and report on an OMDC information session to be held March 14 in Toronto.
