I'll be brief.
I agree with Mr. Anders that the Canadian media fund is a great step in the right direction, but it still heavily favours the incumbency of the broadcasters. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, but there's also an experimental stream, and I know a lot of my colleagues are putting their eggs into those baskets. In the Canadian funding landscape, in terms of broadcasters...as far as documentary filmmakers, we hardly have anyone to bring our projects to anymore. The entire system is contingent on those broadcasters agreeing to fund our work.
We have hundreds and hundreds of documentary filmmakers across the country literally asking the same three people, “Please support my film.” That's the only way they can trigger those broadcast envelopes to get their work done. So I think that needs a second look.
