FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:<\/h2>\n

What is the $6000 for?<\/strong>
The $6000 is development funding for your documentary. Successful candidates will work with their CBC mentor to determine a development plan and budget, bespoke to each documentary. This may include hiring external writers or researchers, depending on the project.<\/p>\n

Do I need a producer attached to this project to apply?<\/strong>
You do not need a producer or production company attached to apply.<\/p>\n

Will CBC own my project?<\/strong>
No, CBC will not own any rights to your project. For more information on how the Business & Rights process works (and some helpful links to CBC\u2019s One Stop Business Workshops)\u00a0check out their page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have already filmed parts of my doc, can I still apply and use that footage in my film?<\/strong>
Yes, as long as you have the rights to the footage.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve filmed some footage or developed my project using funds or grants from another organization\/agency. Does this make my project ineligible?<\/strong>
It\u2019s eligible as long as there are no restrictions on our creative input and licensing of the film for digital distribution. On your proposal, indicate any funds you\u2019ve already received so we\u2019re aware up front.<\/p>\n

Do I need to have confirmation from my characters\/subjects before I submit a pitch about them?<\/strong>
Yes! Please don\u2019t pitch us an idea that revolves around a main character if you haven\u2019t talked to them about potentially being part of your doc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
