Canadian films starring Daniel Radcliffe, Richard Dreyfuss and Cory Monteith are among the projects getting a boost from Telefilm Canada.

The federal funding agency says it's investing $6.4 million in six English-language features from the Atlantic and Ontario-Nunavut regions.

They include the Canada-Ireland co-production F Word, a romantic comedy starring Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan and helmed by Fubar director Michael Dowse.

TV star Jason Priestley also got funds for his feature directorial debut, Cas & Dylan, starring Dreyfuss as a dying man who inadvertently winds up on the lam with a 22-year-old, played by Canadian up-and-comer Tatiana Maslany.

Other films in the pipe include writer-director Gia Milani's All the Wrong Reasons, with Monteith, Karine Vanasse, Emily Hampshire, and Kevin Zegers in an ensemble about severe traumatic stress; and Richie Mehta's drama I'll Follow You Down, starring Haley Joel Osment, Gillian Anderson, Rufus Sewell and Victor Garber.

Other projects getting financial support include the coming-of-age tales Hold Fast, directed by Justin Simms, and Uvanga, from Marie-Helene Cousineau.
