Film — Promotional Travel Assistance

For New Brunswick film producers, being invited to screen a project or participate in a recognized festival or industry event can be a major career milestone—but travel costs often make these opportunities harder to pursue. The Film — Promotional Travel Assistance program is designed to ease that burden by helping producers represent their work at key film, television, and new media events in Canada and internationally, where visibility and industry connections matter most.

Delivered by the Government of New Brunswick’s Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture, this program offers non-repayable funding to offset a portion of eligible travel expenses, with support of up to $2,000 per producer or production company. The funding is intended for situations where a project has been officially selected, invited, or recognized, and where attending the event could lead to meaningful professional development, training, or potential co-production opportunities. By helping producers attend festivals, markets, and workshops, the program also supports the broader goal of promoting New Brunswick as a competitive location for film and screen-based production.

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, making this a flexible option for producers planning upcoming travel. For New Brunswick-based film businesses looking to expand their reach, build industry relationships, or showcase their work on larger stages, exploring the full details of this program can help determine whether it’s the right fit for your next opportunity.
