The CINESPARK production program has been supporting local artists in the Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands region with cash, services, and equipment toward the production of outstanding short films since 2017.

The only submission requirement is a complete screenplay, 10 pages or less.

Every year we award a hefty production package of cash, resources, and equipment rentals to the production of an outstanding short film script by a writer from the Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands region in British Columbia, Canada.

The Top 5 entries pitch their projects at Short Circuit in May 2023, and one winner will receive the production package to create their short film, including:

• $2,500 cash grant *NEW*

• $14,000 in-kind equipment rentals from CineVic

• $2,500 in-kind equipment rentals from William F. White

• $500 Modo driving credits toward production van rental

• Production Insurance - 10 consecutive days of coverage ($225 value)

• One-year complimentary CineVic Production Membership ($220 value)

• Interview segment on Push In - The CineVic Podcast
