Bell Media announced today its support for 27 Canadian film projects through the Fund’s Script Development Program. The slate includes films in all stages of script development, from story optioning and first and second drafts, to polish and packaging, and final drafts.
Today’s announced selections focus on the development of new voices. Over half the selections have first and second time feature directors attached. Celebrated filmmakers Deepa Mehta, David Cronenberg, and Ryan Redford have all adapted novels for their latest projects.
