First Feature Project launches

Haliwood Insider: "Yesterday afternoon, Film Nova Scotia and Telefilm Canada had a bash at the Carleton on Argyle Street to celebrate their new initiative: The First Feature Project provides $50,000 from both the provincial and federal film funding bodies, plus an extra $10,000 for a mentor and marketing, to shoot a more-than-75-minute feature film by a director/writer/producer team that has only made shorts. It’s a first-time funding collaboration of this sort by Film NS and Telefilm’s Atlantic office.
