A starting point, not a bankable figure. The low end is the rate a production can count on; the high end needs every uplift stacked. It does not model tiers, per-project or annual caps, above- and below-the-line splits, or residency rules. Confirm the number that applies to your production with the film office.
Program detail
We publish the headline figures above and link straight to the offices that administer the program. Detailed tier, cap, and deadline terms are being read from Manitoba’s official program pages: until that pass lands here, confirm them with the office directly.
Incentive terms change with legislation. Verify current rates, caps, and eligibility with the film office before committing a budget.
