Toke N Choke Productions | Application Preview
Toke N Choke Productions is seeking government grants to support the post-production of their film, Toke N' Choke Dispensary, which faced disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was halted early, with safety measures taken for the health of the cast and crew. The funds will be used to compensate contractors and partners involved in different stages of production.
The business plans to produce multiple films and television projects over the next five years to enhance growth and increase equity.

In terms of competition, the applicant identifies prominent directors such as Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and Guy Ritchie as rivals. However, she believes her competitive edge lies in being a female director, her focus on socially relevant themes, and her extensive experience as an actor in the industry, which shapes her directing style and positively impacts her collaboration with actors.

Funding Usage
Our principle photography (production) of my film, Toke N' Choke Dispensary was halted early due to the Corona Virus/Covid 19 and I also took precautionary measures as any employees felt ill and sent them home from work and/or advised them not to come to the set. We have now wrapped production early due to the virus but will be moving into post-production phase at this time while following instructions in quarantine. I must pay contractors and direct partners for work on production(s) in all aspects including pre-production, principle photography and post-production.

Business Plan
I will be producing multiple films and television content over the next five years to grow my business and gain equity. Investing in my films and television content is helpful to all of society as I am creating meaningful stories and bringing them to life. These stories not only give a unique perspective on various life events but also help calm the mind and give people the chance to escape reality for that period of time and go into the world of the moving picture.

Self Identified Competition
As a director, my top three competitors are Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez and Guy Ritchie. Firstly, I am female. Next, my films are (in my opinion) more meaningful for society today. Also, I started my work as an actor in the industry, working for 10+ years in various independent and studio films. Now, as a director and producer, I have a very specific way of working with my actors that I believe is more beneficial for all.
