Ms Karan O'Loughlin:

As I understand the position, it is not the production company that is funded, it is the project. When somebody wants to make a movie, he or she is told how much it will cost and then an application for funding is submitted. If the process was the other way around, one would end up funding production companies before projects had been identified. Such a proposal would need to be explored in detail. To be honest, I cannot answer.
