Our industry
Storytelling doesn’t just advance our culture.
It is our culture.
In 2017, Canada’s vibrant film and television production industry generated well over $8 billion in production volume, contributed over $12 billion to the GDP and provided approximately 171,700 full-time jobs.
What unites a population of 36 million citizens, spread across 10 million square kilometres?
In large part, it is the stories we tell to one another and the world. Storytelling doesn’t just advance our culture; it is our culture.
Canada’s independent producers help bring stories to life on screen through the production of compelling content. Working in film, television, and across a host of digital platforms, independent media producers—in companies of all shapes and sizes—tell stories that represent all Canadians and reflect the diverse and varied voices that make up this great land.
