Canada-based Independent Production Fund (IPF), the funding organization behind Toronto-based tween detective series Ruby Skye P.I. from Story2.OH, has just launched Wip, the IPF Web Series Program, which has greenlit eleven new Canadian web series.

According to the IPF, nearly 170 proposals, in both English and French, were submitted by producers across Canada. A total of $1.2M was awarded to eleven selected projects to produce a total of about 16 hours of content. Wip has already debuted the tween mystery series Ruby Skye P.I., comic superhero series Tights and Fights: Ashes, and the French 11 Règles, and will be launching Dakodak, an innovative series for young adults.

Since 1991, the private, independent IPF has invested over $50M in more than 200 television series. The IPF Web Series Program was launched in March 2010 as a pilot project with the participation of Film Nova Scotia and Innovation PEI. Below is a description of the eleven IPF series:
