Prince Edward Island Film Production Fund

For film and television producers looking to stretch production budgets while showcasing a distinctive Canadian setting, Prince Edward Island offers a compelling incentive through the Prince Edward Island Film Production Fund. This program is designed to make the province more competitive as a filming location while strengthening the local screen industry. By offsetting a meaningful portion of eligible in-province production costs, the fund helps producers bring projects to life while tapping into PEI’s growing creative workforce and picturesque locations.

Administered by Innovation PEI, the fund supports a wide range of film, television, and streaming productions, from drama and documentary to animation and series work. Funding is provided as a non-repayable rebate that can cover roughly one-third of eligible Prince Edward Island expenses, including local labour and goods and services sourced within the province. Beyond financial support, the program places a strong emphasis on developing local talent, encouraging the hiring and training of PEI-based crew, and building long-term capacity in the island’s film and television sector. Both local producers and eligible co-productions can benefit, provided projects are commercially licensed and move into production after approval.

With applications generally required before cameras start rolling and funding levels varying by project scope, understanding the details early can make a real difference. Producers considering PEI as a filming destination will want to explore the full program guidelines to see how this fund could support their next production.
