It specifies requirements for Project Details Forms, copyright ownership proof, and various license agreements or commitment letters from digital platforms, including those owned by Canadian broadcasters or those featuring entertainment programming accessible to Canadians. The checklist also details requirements for proof of other financing, lists of pending applications to other funders, and the specific budget format (.xls or .xlsx) for series production. Additionally, it requires a preliminary audience development plan, content submissions (series treatment and scripts for fiction, or treatment and episodic outline for nonfiction), and a production schedule. The document also mandates the submission of applicant company credits, a list of key personnel, and their CVs. A Self-Identification Contact List is required, along with co-production or service agreements if applicable. Letters of support and additional documents like the Platform Pre-Approval Form are marked as not required but may be included where relevant.",{"@graph":63,"@context":122},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":36,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/short-form-digital-series-checklist/191612/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/short-form-digital-series-checklist/191612.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Sarah ","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-26","2026-09-03",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":79},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114,118],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What types of digital platforms require a license agreement or commitment letter?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"License agreements or commitment letters are required from digital platforms owned, controlled, and operated by Canadian broadcasters (e.g., OUTtvGo, APTN’s Lumi, Savoir media), those operating as Hybrid VOD services (e.g., Crave, Club Illico), or platforms featuring Entertainment Programming accessible to Canadians.
