Canada has signed co-production treaties with 57 countries. Administered by Telefilm, they grant national status in both jurisdictions, they stack tax incentives in ways that can cover most of a production budget, and they have been on the books for decades. Each one pools capital, talent, and markets across a border, a mechanism for building work that neither country could mount alone. That mechanism matters more now than it has in decades: the industry built around a single production capital is dispersing, financing is being reassembled across borders, and the playbook for how and where films get made is open for rewriting. Canada holds one of the largest networks of these treaties in the world, in the rare industry where a country's output shifts its international standing out of all proportion to the dollars involved. The same infrastructure extends across the trade agreements, investment treaties, research partnerships, and cultural frameworks Canada has signed and filed away. Film co-production treaties are the template — and the spearhead. The model applies across the board.

Rubedo works these corridors as a triangle with three corners: a region of the world, an industry with momentum, and a Canadian connection. Find the corridor where all three intersect, and you have work that wouldn't have existed otherwise.

We're living in a moment when neither talent nor resources are the bottleneck. Coordination is. That's what Rubedo works on. The work runs in four phases.
