I'd love to hear the explanation as to why LA based creators are now eligible for IPF funds.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Hollywood LA based productions working with @dotstudioPRO Vancouver based company is the answer! New tech platform made by content creators for content creators.
ReplyDeleteThe IPF has specifically stated that the project cannot be produced by a US creator or production house. This video was written and directed by American and LA resident Tony Vanzuella and produced by Blackbox TV and Legendary. Both American companies, the later being a massive Hollywood studio. This is NOT eligible and to try to claim it as such is insulting to any Canadian indie creator.
ReplyDeleteYou can try to split hairs all you want but this is complete BS and will be a massive travesty if it gets IPF funding. (And knowing the IPF's history of breaking and bending their own rules to play favorites, I am willing to guarantee that you are going to get your money and that is an insult to the rest of Canada's creators.)
From the IPF's guidelines:
ReplyDeleteDefinition of an Independent Canadian Producer
For purposes of this Fund, an independent Canadian Producer is defined as:
1. a Canadian-controlled corporation as defined in the tax credit regulations of the Income Tax
Act; and
2. not a holder of a CRTC television broadcasting licence or an "affiliate" of such a broadcaster
as defined in the Canada Business Corporations Act.
BlackboxTV and Legendary are NOT eligible under these guidelines and this project therefore must be disqualified.
Jimmy I just responded to the thread not sure if you can see it. The project is being produced with dotstudioPRO a Vancouver based company. We are well aware of the guidelines and have taken every measure to ensure we as a Canadian company are follow the ipf guidelines. We love your 100% Canadian heart and want to see more amazing content come out of Canada!!!
DeleteAlso Legendary is not involved. The series is inspired by the short, but is being produced in Canada.
DeleteSorry, not buying it. EVERYTHING you have put forward is US based and it's an insult to every Canadian creator in the space when the IPF bends their rules YET AGAIN for someone who is partnering with Blackbox. This will be even worse than when the March Sisters were Pemberly's "in" to get money they weren't eligible for.
DeleteI did notice the BlackBoxTV connection. We know of BlackBox and Tony via many posts on this Web site and that is definitely based in LA. So what exactly is the BlackBoxTV connection and in what way might that affect IPF eligibility?
DeleteInteresting...
