productions, and to multi-territory co-productions. Piovesan has produced The Whistleblower starring Rachel Weisz, Regression starring Emma Watson and Ethan Hawke, and Red Lights starring Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver and Robert DeNiro, among others. Elevation was founded more than two years ago and in May signed a multi-year slate co-financing deal with Anton Corp., which includes 20-25 pictures per year, made up of commercial and prestige-driven films, including from its output deals with Black Bear Pictures, Bleecker Street Films and Bold Films. Upcoming Elevation releases include Stephen Gaghan’s Gold starring Matthew McConaughey and The Founder directed by John Lee Hancock and starring Michael Keaton.
In the fall, CBC announced a new film fund to support underrepresented filmmakers nationwide. The CBC will contribute at least $7.5 million to the Breaking Barriers Film Fund over the next three years. With the new fund, CBC is seeking English-language feature film projects that are written or directed by Canadian women, indigenous persons, visible minorities and persons with a disability who have had at least one feature-length film showcased at a recognized film festival, and which are not in the documentary genre and not already in production. Applicants have a choice of applying for funding to cover either 10 per cent or 20 per cent of the film’s production budget, the CBC said. There are no set deadlines, and fund recipients will be chosen solely on creative merit.
