Nova Scotia Film & Television Production Incentive Fund
This program provides funding for screen-based content creation including film and video productions for public viewing. Organizations must have a permanent establishment in Nova Scotia and be engaged primarily in film or video production, with a minimum Nova Scotia spend of $25,000 before HST.
