ECOZONES AND SEASONAL INFORMATION Manitoba s Ecozones: Prairies to Tundra, and All Filmable Prairies: Southwestern Manitoba. Dominated by farmland, and is also the most populated ecozone in Manitoba. Boreal Plains: Central / Western Manitoba. Lowlying valleys and plains with the majority covered by forests. Boreal Shield: Central / Eastern Manitoba. This rolling landscape encompasses the Canadian Shield and the boreal forest. Taiga Shield: Northern Manitoba. Bordering the northern edge of the boreal forest, this ecozone is dotted with lakes and wetlands. Hudson Plains: Northeastern Manitoba. Flat landscape dominated by wetlands. Source: Canadian Council on Ecological Areas Seasonal Information Manitoba has four distinct seasons. Summers are warm and sunny, with extended daylight hours and an extremely long magic hour. Winter days are bright and refreshing and the winter months are perfect for night shoots. Most of Manitoba s 100,000 lakes are frozen over from approximately mid-december to mid- March, with January and February being the best months for shooting on lakes. Manitoba has a seasonably dry climate in both winter and summer. Manitoba s southern and northern regions have distinctly different seasons. Southern Manitoba Manitoba receives over 2,300 hours of sunlight annually. Winnipeg residents enjoy up to 16 hours of sunlight daily during the summer months. Summer: The peak season for sunflowers is the second week of July through to the first week of August. The wheat fields turn a golden colour in early August. The wheat fields are harvested mid-august to mid-september. Autumn: Typically, the leaves begin to change colour by early-september, through to mid- October. By the end of October, most of the leaves have fallen off the trees. Winter: The first snowfall can vary greatly from year to year. Typically, snow begins to fall in November and there is usually snow cover by December. Spring: By mid-march, the spring melt starts and snow coverage begins to fluctuate. Lakes are generally not safe to film on after mid-march and the snow is generally gone by the middle of April. The trees begin to bud and turn green between late-april and mid-may, depending on the year and region. Northern Manitoba (Churchill) The sun s rays are reflected off the snow and ice due to Churchill s latitude, meaning low temperatures all year, but the proximity to Hudson s Bay moderates the temperature in summer months. Summer: The majority of Churchill s precipitation falls during the summer. Mid-June through August is Beluga whale season. Autumn: October and November are prime months for viewing polar bears as ice begins to freeze. Snow begins to accumulate. Winter: Snow cover is 30-40 cm. Northern Lights are often seen in the clear Northern skies, peaking in March. Spring: Snow begins to melt and is completely gone by June. Tundra flowers being to bud in late spring. 07

Development Loans For projects that involve a Manitoba co-producer, Manitoba Film & Music development loans can be applied for indigenous, national and international co-ventures or co-productions.

Manitoba Film & Video Production Tax Credit (Cost-Of-Salaries Tax Credit) Q: Why is Manitoba considered the leader in tax credits? A: NO application processing fees NO content requirements NO copyright ownership requirements NO co-production requirements (you are not obliged to work with a Manitoba company, but you would benefit if they brought frequent filmer bonus, MB producer bonus and provincial equity to the table) NO funding caps per production or per production company (the higher your Manitoba labour expenditures, the higher your tax credit will be!) NO caps on annual funds available (Manitoba s tax credit is a rebate, not a finite fund, which means you ll never have to wait for a new fiscal year to apply for your rebate) NO minimum or maximum budget requirements NO first time producer requirements Q: Not a Frequent Filmer yet? A: NO PROBLEM! Producers can access the extra 10% by working with a production company that has the frequent filmer status. 4. Production Equity Investment For projects that involve a Manitoba co-producer, Manitoba Film & Music Production Equity Investments can be applied to indigenous, national and international co-ventures or co-productions. Access to Manitoba Film & Music production equity does NOT require that the project meet Canadian Content Requirements, or co-treaty conditions. 17

TAX CREDIT ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION The following information is provided only as an overview of the Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit Guidelines. In case of a discrepancy between the two documents, the Guidelines shall prevail. Complete Tax Credit guidelines and application documents are available on the Manitoba Film & Music website at mbfilmmusic.ca YOU COULD POTENTIALLY QUALIFY FOR A WHOPPING 65% TAX CREDIT ON YOUR ELIGIBLE MANITOBA LABOUR!!! Huge 45% base tax credit! 10% Frequent Filming Bonus on the third project for companies that shoot 3 eligible projects in Manitoba within a two-year period, receive the extra 10% on the third. Plus, maintain the bonus on subsequent productions as long as your production activity yields 3 eligible projects within any 2-year rolling period! 5% Manitoba Producer Bonus on productions where a Manitoba resident receives a screen credit as a Producer, Co-Producer, or Executive Producer. 5% Rural Bonus for productions that shoot at least 50%* of their Manitoba shooting days at least 35 km from the centre** of Winnipeg. * Manitoba Shooting Days are defined as calendar days while Manitoba Rural Days are defined as 7.5 hours, making it easier to qualify! A 15-hour day actually counts as 2 Manitoba Rural Days. ** Distance is measured as the most direct driving distance from the corner of Portage Avenue and Main Street. AS AN ALTERNATIVE, YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE TO APPLY FOR THE 30% MANITOBA COST-OF-PRODUCTION TAX CREDIT! Manitoba Film & Video Production Tax Credit Q: What is the Tax credit? A: The Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit is a fully refundable corporate income tax credit provided to qualifying producers for qualifying projects. The tax credit is provided to the same extent for all corporate taxpayers, regardless of the income tax level or marginal tax rate. One must file a Canadian corporate income tax return in order to receive the credit. Q: Who can apply? A: The applicant must: a) be a taxable Canadian corporation, incorporated under the laws of Canada or a province of Canada; b) have a permanent establishment in Manitoba; c) be producing an eligible film in the course of a film or video production business that is its primary business; and 18

TAX CREDIT ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION d) pay at least 25% of its T4 Summary for the fiscal year of the production to eligible employees and eligible non-resident employees, for work performed in Manitoba, except documentaries where the work can be performed anywhere. Employees are defined as individuals who receive income tax deductions at source (i.e. a T4 is provided directly by the applicant company). Contracted individuals and loan out corporations would not be in receipt of a T4, and therefore, should not be included in this calculation. Q: How is permanent establishment defined? A: EASILY. Permanent establishment is defined as a place of business with at least one employee or agent established with a general authority to contract on behalf of the corporation and with substantial machinery or equipment. Basically, this means that the production company must have, during principle photography, office space / trailers in Manitoba, a producer, director or production manager in Manitoba (or anyone else who can contract on behalf of the applicant company) and equipment in Manitoba. Q: Do I need a Manitoba company to apply? A: NO, you do not need a Manitoba company; however, the applicant company must be incorporated in Canada and at least 25% of the employee salaries paid during the year of the production must be paid to employees who are residents of Manitoba for work performed in Manitoba. (Really not complicated stick with us and we ll explain.) Q: My company is not from Manitoba; therefore, how can I possibly satisfy the 25% rule? A: EASILY. A non-manitoba company can satisfy the 25% rule by doing the following: Incorporate a taxable single-purpose company in Manitoba or Canada. Run all of its Manitoba expenses through this single-purpose company. Apply for the Manitoba Tax Credit through this single-purpose company. Hire at least one Manitoba resident as an employee for work to be done in Manitoba You may hire additional people as employees; however, 25% of the sum of these salaries must be paid to employees who are residents of Manitoba for work performed in Manitoba (for documentaries, the work does not have to be performed in Manitoba). Q: What projects are eligible to apply? A: Eligible projects include those which are fully financed: Television Movies Documentaries Feature Films Dramatic Series Variety Animation Children s Programming Music Programming Information Series Digital Productions CD-ROM Productions Q: Are there content requirements? A: NO, there are no Canadian or Manitoba content requirements for the Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit. Everyone is rewarded equally based on the amount of eligible Manitoba labour expenditures (for the Cost-of-Salaries Tax Credit) or the amount of eligible Manitoba expenditures (for the Costof-Production Tax Credit). Q: Is there a time limit for applying for my tax credit? A: Yes. Part A and Part B tax credit applications must be received by Manitoba Film & Music within 30 months after the end of the fiscal year in which principle photography began. Q: Will Manitoba Film & Music prepare tax credit estimates? A: Manitoba Film & Music will not prepare tax credit estimates. We only provide feedback on the Part A application once an applicant formally applies to our office. However, once you have read the Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit Guidelines, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Q: How do I determine the eligibility of labour expenses by budget category? A: An Excel worksheet is available on the Manitoba Film & Music website (mbfilmmusic.ca) in the Tax Credit section. This worksheet follows an industry standard budget template, allows you to insert the relevant Manitoba labour amounts per budget line item, and indicates the eligibility of the various expenses. This worksheet is a guide only; the guidelines, legislation, and regulations will prevail. 19

TAX CREDIT DEEMING PROVISIONS Q: Are there any circumstances where a nonresident s salary may be eligible for a tax credit? A: In the event that a crew member is brought in because there is no willing, available and qualified Manitoban to fill the position, a special bonus, the deeming provision may allow the salary of the non-manitoba resident to be deemed eligible for the tax credit. For deeming to apply: It is ONLY the relevant unions and guilds who verify that there are no willing, available and qualified Manitobans to fill the positions, and then if in agreement, sign off on the deeming forms. Once an individual has been deemed by the respective union or guild, the production must train at least one Manitoban per non-resident being deemed. The training must be approved by the relevant labour organization and Film Training Manitoba (if applicable). Q: Is there a maximum number of positions that can be deemed? A: No, there is no maximum number of positions that can be deemed; however, there is a cap on the total amount of non-resident salaries that will be allowed. The cap is determined by the ratio of Manitoba Trainees per Non-Manitoba Residents and by the amount of total eligible Manitoba labour expenditures. Amount of Training If one (1) Manitoba resident is trained per non-resident during the course of the non-residents employment If two (2) Manitoba residents are trained per non-resident during the course for the non-residents employment Corresponding Deeming Cap Cap set at 10% of Total Eligible Manitoba labour expenditures Cap set at 30% of Total Eligible Manitoba labour expenditures Q: Which positions can be deemed? A: Below the line, technical positions can be deemed. As well, Line Producer and Director of Photography positions are eligible for deeming. Q: Are there positions that cannot be deemed? A: Actors, Producers, Creative Producers, Writers, and Directors cannot be deemed. In general, positions that are above the line are not deemable. 20

TAX CREDIT DEEMING PROVISIONS Q: Who decides which positions will be approved for deeming? A: The unions and guilds are responsible for signing-off on all deeming requests. Manitoba Film & Music only acts as an intermediary between the production company and the labour and training organizations to ensure that the deeming paperwork is sent to the appropriate parties. Q: Who initiates the deeming request and training discussion? A: The Production Company MUST indicate its deeming requirements to Manitoba Film & Music and should do so PRIOR to the start of principle photography. All deeming requests must be signed off by a Manitoba related union and / or guild. Q: How Does Deeming Work? A: All Deemed positions must be accompanied by a valid training opportunity on the production. The Manitoba trainee can be in a different department, but there must be at least one Manitoba trainee per non-resident being deemed. Q: At what stage of production do I need to concern myself with deeming and tax credit criteria to ensure I maximize the tax credit potential? A: Prior to going into prep, ensure that your deeming needs are known so that you may set-up the training so as to maximize your tax credit. If your non-resident salaries do not exceed the 10% cap, then you only need to match one (1) Manitoba trainee per non-resident. If your non-resident salaries exceed the 10% cap, then it is in your best interest to match two (2) Manitoba trainees per non-resident so as to qualify for the 30% cap. Q: What are the steps to deeming? A: A complete description of the deeming process is provided in the Deeming Section of the Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit Guidelines. The guidelines are available for download at mbfilmmusic.ca under the tax credit link. Q: Who will help me with my deeming application and questions? A: The relevant unions and Film Training Manitoba (FTM) will be responsible for training placements and approvals. Manitoba Film & Music will work with the Production Company to co-ordinate the paperwork and facilitate the deeming application process. 21

TAX CREDIT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Q: Are there advantages to working with a Manitoba company? A: The advantages to working with a Manitoba company: A Manitoba company that is already in Frequent Filming Bonus status can bring an extra 10% in tax credits to the production; A Manitoba Producer can bring an extra 5% in tax credits through the Manitoba Producer Bonus A Manitoba company can apply for equity financing from Manitoba Film & Music. The value of local experience Q: Do I have to worry about Copyright / Corporate Caps? A: No copyright ownership is required and there are no corporate caps regarding the number of applications or the amount of tax credit available. Q: What if I have to film outside of Manitoba? A: As this credit is labour-based, filming outside of the province is allowable within the spirit and intent of the Act, recognizing that certain productions require shooting outside of Manitoba. However, keep in mind that a minimum of 25% of employee salaries paid during the fiscal year of the production must be paid to employees who are residents of Manitoba for work performed in Manitoba (for documentaries, the work does not have to be performed in Manitoba). Q: How does the Federal Tax Credit work with the Manitoba Tax Credit? A: As with all other provincial tax credits, the Manitoba Tax Credit will grind the Federal Tax Credits. In other words, the Manitoba Tax Credit will be subtracted from eligible Canadian labour or eligible Canadian production costs (whichever is applicable) before the 16% or 25% federal tax credit rate is applied. Q: Who administers the Federal Tax Credit? A: The two Federal Tax Credits, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit (CPTC) and the Film or Video Production Services Tax Credit (PSTC), are administered through the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO).

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW MANITOBA S PRODUCERS 92 INDUSTRY INFRASTRUCTURE 93 MANITOBA CREW AND TALENT 94 HISTORY, CULTURE AND THE ARTS 95 SPORTS AND RECREATION 96 91

MANITOBA S PRODUCERS Manitoba has more than 40 active production companies that create original content and that co-produce with partners from around the world. These production companies are led by seasoned service producers who have worked with and for international studios such as Warner Bros., Fox, Universal, MGM and Sony. Reflecting Manitoba s diverse population, content is produced in English, French and Aboriginal languages. Open to new experiences, languages and cultures, our production community welcomes the opportunity to work with co-producers from other countries. Manitoba producers pride themselves on their capacity to work collaboratively with local and out-of-province partners to adapt rapidly to a changing media production environment. An increasing number of Manitoba producers have experience developing and managing interactive and/or multiplatform projects whether in television, film or web-based production. 92

INDUSTRY INFRASTRUCTURE Manitoba has a well-established infrastructure that accommodates large or micro-budget projects with ease and flexibility. The province s 14-year-old tax credit is a stable production incentive with a proven track record and no annual cap. From an international film and television production assurance company to financing and legal expertise, Manitoba production service suppliers are well versed in the challenges and opportunities of Canadian and international projects. Manitoba production industry suppliers have decades of experience working with large international studios, as well as small independent productions. Combining a purpose built sound stage with adapted warehouses, Manitoba can comfortably accommodate multiple productions at any given time. We also have post-production facilities and a Dolby certified recording studio. There are two dedicated film offices that offer location scouting, permit and logistics support, along with legendary financial incentives and problem solving at the speed of production. 93

MANITOBA CREW AND TALENT Manitoba s local talent pool has won awards on both sides of the camera. From writers, directors, actors and producers whose work is regularly showcased at major festivals such as TIFF, Berlin, Cannes, and Sundance to the talented keys that are sought after beyond our borders. Manitoba is a strong production centre with excellent training and professional development opportunities for all industry professionals. The Winnipeg-based National Screen Institute Canada, a celebrated organization that provides a continuum of careerlong professional development for Canadian film and television industry professionals, and the Winnipeg Film Group, an artist-run organization dedicated to promoting the art of cinema, both have reputations that span the country. There are post-secondary programs in English and French, a burgeoning New Media sector and industry-driven training programs through Film Training Manitoba. On Screen Manitoba, the regional industry association, works closely with stakeholders, unions, guilds, training bodies and the independent music and New Media industry associations to enhance the local production environment. It plays a leading role in developing the production industry through professional, business and market development initiatives.

HISTORY, CULTURE AND THE ARTS Manitoba has a rich and well-preserved cultural heritage that results in usable and accessible resources for film and television. In addition to our turn-of-the-century architecture - historical props, clothing and cars are readily available. Known as one of the cultural capitals of Canada, Winnipeg s world-class arts and culture scene spans all disciplines of visual, performing and literary arts. Both the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Winnipeg Contemporary Dancers have acclaimed professional dance schools.
