Laura Mackenzie, Director, Strategic Partners, said, “Momentum continues to build in the number of Canadian and international producers looking to collaborate with India and the UK is a natural co-spotlight given their experience in successfully capitalizing on their co-pro treaty with India many times. Strategic Partners held a soft focus on India to introduce a small number of India producers and officials to the event. This has already contributed to a Canadian film shot in India.”

The deadline for the Strategic Partners’ call for producer applications and industry registrations is June 28.
