PS Atlantic & SIM heading down the road

ps.2013.small SIM.200pxPS Atlantic, recently acquired by SIM Digital, have been longstanding partners of the Joy Awards. It is with great sadness we see them leave Nova Scotia.

I’d just like to extend thanks to Rob Riselli and PS Atlantic for their support over many years, not just to these Awards, but to the filmmaking community in general. Their generosity to emerging filmmakers and film training programs in the region made a fundamental difference in the ability of filmmakers to build their careers here.

SIM has stated bluntly that this move is a direct consequence of the Liberal Government’s cutting of the Film Tax Credit. Read the CBC article here for more detailed coverage.

Provincial Government cuts NS Film Tax Credit

From the Screen Nova Scotia website:

URGENT: THE FILM, TELEVISION AND DIGITAL MEDIA INDUSTRIES ARE UNDER THREAT!

As you may be aware, the film, television and digital media industry is currently facing a great deal of uncertainty due to comments made by the Finance Minister. There is a growing concern that the Film, Television and Digital Media Tax Credits which our industry relies on to be competitive in a global industry could face drastic changes. It’s important to know that it’s not too late to influence the budget, which is being tabled on April 9th. It is CRITICAL that our community and its supporters make our collective voice heard.
