CSC sponsor Dark Slope has announced a major $1 million investment to support film and television projects over the next 12 months. The funding targets partially financed productions—scripted or unscripted—that can benefit from virtual production. Selected projects will gain access to Dark Slope’s 35,000 sq. ft. LED volume soundstage in Toronto and expert VP team. To be eligible, projects must have at least one-third of financingsecured and a confirmed buyer. In parallel, Dark Slope is deepening its commitment to industry equity through a new $100,000 partnership with the Group Effort Initiative (GEI), supporting paid internships, mentorships, and job fairs for underrepresented Canadian talent in virtual production and XR (extended reality). The move strengthens Dark Slope’s position as GEI’s first virtual production studio partner and an active force for both innovation and inclusion in the screen industries.
