Montreal co-op KO-OP furloughed 13 people, and the members themselves voted for the cuts.
Why: Funding dried up. Funders wanted a polished prototype or vertical slice, and a Canadian Media Fund answer would have come too late for the studio's runway.
How it was decided: An executive committee drafted the plan and picked who was affected. Membership voted on a Zoom call: bar a few abstentions and one "no," everyone backed the furlough plan.
The goal: Dabbous hopes the cuts buy six to eight months to develop new pitches, with affected workers able to return if the studio can rehire.
