The Spark Equity fund was created in partnership with Canada Media Fund in efforts to empower filmmakers from underrepresented communities. At WebSeries Canada we strongly believe in our mission to create an equal platform for all filmmakers alike to have their creative voices heard. Since this program is still relatively new, the ways in which it will provide value to our beloved creators will continue to transform. Even we are not certain of the heights to which it may lead us – but we remain committed and excited to find out alongside you all!
Spark Equity Program perks:
- Provides submission fees (i.e. free of cost to the creator) to those who may require it and identify as a member of an underrepresented community such as the BIPOC community or the LGBTQ+ community.
- Free membership to WebSeries Canada – this includes other exciting perks such as priority access to our events, guaranteed seats to creator-centric workshops and webinars, and more!*
- A free digital ticket to WSC Talks (*additional tickets may be negotiated if more than one producer worked on your submitted series)
- Exclusive access to private events during the 2022 festival
*Offer applicable to residents of Canada only.
