The Hollywood Reporter noted that Tabarrok was skilled at finding funding from government sources, citing his 2018 film Stockholm, as an example.[2][3] Stockholm received funding help from Sweden due to casting Noomi Rapace, and other Swedish actors, and received funding help from Canada, where it was filmed. It reported that American actor Ethan Hawke was the only actor to film any scenes in Sweden—all establishing exterior shots.

The setting wasn't the only benefit for the production. Stockholm received financial support from Telefilm Canada, the OMDC Feature Film Fund, the Harold Greenberg Fund (for scripts and polishing), an Ontario film tax credit (with a regional bonus) and a federal film tax credit.

The Hamilton locations were so effective that Hawke was the only actor to travel to the real Stockholm to capture exterior shots. "Stockholm would not have been possible without the support of Telefilm, provincial and federal tax credits and the OMDC," Tabarrok says. "It's nearly impossible to finance a film this size without the support of government incentives."
