Screen Nova Scotia

nsfilmjobsScreen Nova Scotia have been a much needed unified voice for the film sector during a catastrophic time. If you haven’t already, please visit their website, follow them on Facebook, and on Twitter.

The Provincial Liberal Government of Stephen McNeil eliminated the Film Tax Credit, and closed the Film & Creative Industries NS offices (then re-opened them in name only). The tax credit has been replaced by an untested, industry-not-standard, incentive program which may have some value in future.

In the short term, and likely for the next several years, the film industry in NS has been wiped out. At this writing there is not a single new (post Liberal budget) project scheduled in NS. Well known, experienced crew, producers, and suppliers are leaving the Province daily.

Screen Nova Scotia will keep you up to date.
