The Winnipeg Film Group's MFM Marketing Fund (funded by Manitoba Film & Music), is designed to assist filmmakers in the marketing and promotion of their films. The marketing of a film is a very important component of filmmaking, and a well constructed promotional campaign may help in the overall success of the film. Filmmakers with completed films can apply for financial assistance of up to $750 to create distribution/marketing materials.

If your film is completed (or very near completion), you are eligible to apply for a grant.

The MFM Marketing Fund has two deadlines annually, in spring and fall.

Please review the program guidelines before commencing the submission process.
