Vicepresident of the Central Housing and Mortgage Corp and director of the and Inflation board arriving at the CFDC he concluded that the only way there can be film industry which didnt live off govern ment grants was to go inter national Even in our local market we have to compete with inter national films We saw the need to move into the $2 million to $5 million budget range and to en courage the making Of longer better films in this country Speaking in CFDC offices in the Montreal Stock Exchange building McCabe said he brought about the change in Ca nadian moviemaking by pro viding producers with seed money in the early and most critical stages of their proj ects From this financial years budget of $45 million which was soon returned and rein vested the TFth has helped producers develop screenplays and put together their prospec tuses to seek budgets of around $35 million from final iii vestors Bringing in international stars is an important part of the tifos strategy Youre going to need those names on the marquee in order to attract people into the theatre But by encouraging lim Itcd number of International names anadians playing alongside them will also get much bigger exposure INIHSTHIALIZE IlttNIISS Frankly says McCabe who learned marketing at lelt vcr Bros after getting philosr ophy degree at the tniversity of Toronto were aiming at in lUSIilillllilllOit of the process Its silly If we cant give film crews anti performers chance to work all year round Id sooner have number of producers with number of proiccts at any one time thus prixlucing steady flow of films At the same time be Is aware that while Montreal has become niinIIlollywotki for technicians and some actors Quebecois directors and writers have so far been left out in the cold It is undoubtedly true there are many people especially in Montreal ho are unable to find money to get their productions Inade and its one of the prob lems we have to come to grips with in its first years the CFDC produced films that were at tractive in the Quebec market place operating on budgets that made sense But now budgets are going through the HEARING TEST EVERY YEAR IS SOUND

dealers became law in i977 liut producers only be came aware of how to make use of them last year We told the producers Well put up the highrisk money If you can match it by finding the rest of the capital Mctabe warns however the tax break may not last The ioldcn Age may have dawned but Im concerned When Americans anti others see ttI tax shiter system they may look for anadian producer to act as front That sort of pre sure might increase He Is also worried about pro ducers inflating udgets some producers think they can pad their budget out with high fees but that will just kill the goose that lays the golden eggs But because investors want to Inake their money back most film budgets are likely to be reasonably straight SHORTHIE 01 SCRIPTS ne of great problems facing III GEORGIAN
