PictureNL Equity Investment Program

In plain language

PictureNL (formerly NLFDC) invests equity — repayable from production revenue — in film and TV productions owned by NL-based production companies. Four application rounds per year. Used in combination with the 30% NL Film & Video Tax Credit as part of a stacked capital plan (the tax credit covers labour; equity covers other hard costs). Not a grant: repayment comes from distribution revenue in defined waterfall position. Application demands a full production package — script, budget, financing plan, distribution letters. Realistic checks $100K–$300K; $500K is the ceiling for flagship features.
