Nunavut Filmmakers Funding — Story Telling Fund

For Nunavut filmmakers looking to develop ideas, build skills, or complete smaller creative projects, flexible funding can make the difference between an idea staying on paper and reaching an audience. The Nunavut Filmmakers Funding — Story Telling Fund was created to support Nunavummiut working across film, television, and digital media who want the freedom to experiment, refine their craft, and share stories in ways that may not fit traditional production funding.

Delivered by the Nunavut Film Development Corporation, this fund supports content creation from early concept through to completion. Projects can include scriptwriting, research, editing, animation, podcasts, short-form videos, music videos, or online promotional content, making it well suited to both emerging and experienced creators. Funding support is generally up to around $8,000 per project, with additional incentives available for projects that incorporate Inuktut language content and modest support to help offset internet uploading or downloading costs. The focus is on creative work itself, rather than equipment purchases or corporate infrastructure.

The program is currently accepting applications and is reviewed on an ongoing, first-come basis until funds are fully allocated. Individual filmmakers, nonprofits, and incorporated production companies in Nunavut working in arts and culture may find this to be a practical way to move a project forward. Exploring the full program details can help determine how this funding could support your next storytelling initiative.
