TIFF 2026
There's more money in your film than you think.
goldenrod finds every incentive dollar a production qualifies for — then tracks the compliance and files the submission so you actually collect it. A team that has done it, on a platform that shows every qualified dollar from first budget to payout.
Keep the card. The link on it stays live long after the festival.
HOW IT WORKS
Three phases. One team.
We optimize the plan before the shoot, keep the production compliant in real time while it shoots, and package the submittal so the funding body's review is as easy — and as fast — as possible.
- IBefore the shoot
Phase I: Optimize
Before a shoot begins, we're consulting on how to maximize the available incentives, which may require changing locations, schedules or other elements to fully maximize those opportunities. There are many opportunities to consider, and we're here to help find what best serves your story.
- IIDuring production
Phase II: Comply
During production, we're taking all the relevant data into our platform, making sure the filmmakers are staying ahead of issues and staying compliant in real time. We provide continuing guidance with a human touch to ensure the project is recouping as much of their potential incentive money as possible. It takes a team, and we're on yours.
- IIIAfter delivery
Phase III: Submit
Because we're on top of compliance throughout, we can turn around submission to the funding body quickly once the project is delivered. We then provide support through a jurisdiction's audit process. The goal of our submittal phase is to organize your submission in a way that makes the funding body's review as easy as possible, so the filmmaker gets their money back as quickly as possible.
GET A NUMBER
Your budget, your location, one estimate.
Three inputs and you get a first-pass range: the program's base rate up to its ceiling with every uplift, after caps and — for credits you'd have to sell — a typical broker discount. It's an estimate, not a quote. The real number depends on eligibility and documentation, which is the part we do.
