The government is investing $23 million to help Nova Scotia's film industry grow sustainably and generate economic activity year-round.

Premier Tim Houston announced today, March 8, two investments to support the industry:

-- $8 million toward a soundstage that will increase the industry's capacity, create more jobs and allow productions to continue year-round

-- $15 million for a new Nova Scotia Content Creator Fund that will benefit local film and television productions.

The Nova Scotia Content Creator Fund will provide $3 million per year over five years to eligible Nova Scotia-led productions, supporting local directors, writers, actors and performers. Screen Nova Scotia will administer the fund and lead development of a 4,645 square-metre (50,000 sq. ft.) soundstage facility. The facility is expected to cost $20 million in total, with further support coming from other partners and private investors.
