Lights. Camera. Credits.
Take Two Media Services helps production companies navigate the full lifecycle of their tax credit applications. With extensive experience in the Canadian film finance landscape, we handle every step of tax credits so your team can stay focused on bringing the production to life.
What We Do
Tax credits aren’t just paperwork.
They’re a project management challenge, and that’s what we solve.
Every application has moving parts. Multiple stakeholders. Tight deadlines. Extensive documentation. Agency questions. Production fires. Finance pressures. Delays in tax credit approvals can increase interest costs on production loans, making timely management critical.
We bring expert knowledge, clear systems, and a calm, organized workflow that keeps every application on track from start to finish.
