MANITOBA FILM & SOUND started
giving opportunities to artists in the forms
of music grants, demo grants, album grants,
it was something that was much of an
invitation or a challenge to the artist to say,
hey, it’s okay to record and we want to
help encourage and support that. I think
that was a fantastic investment.
