Supporting Creators from Script to Screen

Humans tell stories–it’s what we do.

Today, the stories that define our lives and shape our world are brought to life by the global creative community, including the creators and artists working in film and television. We foster this economic and cultural enterprise by advocating for policies that recognize the power of our stories, reward creators, and allow us to produce, distribute, and protect the creative content audiences love.

Canada Creates

Together, global studios and streamers work with Canadian creatives to craft some of the world’s most-watched content, right here in Canada. Nationwide polling shows Canadians recognize the significant economic impact and reputation building benefits for Canada when global studios and their streaming services make movies and shows in Canada with Canadian creative workers, and take that content to audiences everywhere. The Canada Creates campaign seeks to shine a spotlight on the wide range of Canadian creatives whose talents bring these stories to life behind-the-scenes.
