2011-2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Life With Murder

When their son is accused of murdering his sister, a mother and father face perhaps the most awful decision any parent could have to make: whether to break with their son or accept him back into the family.

Tactik

Tactik is a show about young athletes going through life’s ups and downs. These boys and girls aren’t heroes but they’re determined, conformists, rebellious or full of dreams.

Todd & The Book Of Pure Evil

Imagine, if you will, a book of awesome power. A book that will make your deepest, darkest dreams come true...but at a terrifying price. Imagine a book of pure and utter evil.

Awards and Prizes

109 CMF-funded projects won (includes honourable mentions) over 200 prizes in 26 prestigious Canadian award ceremonies during 2011-2012. Globally, outside of Canadian borders, 31 CMF-funded projects won prizes in 13 international contests.

Drama projects that garnered the most recognition, in Canada and on a global scale were Call Me Fitz, Heartland, Blackstone, The Borgias, DeGrassi, Flashpoint and Hiccups.  French-language drama 19-2 captured by far the most number of awards.
