PIPELINE
As RCMP detectives Katie Tremblay and Marc Doucette traverse the country to investigate the murder of a former Prime Minister, they uncover a sinister conspiracy tied to a politically contentious pipeline, straining both their personal and professional lives along the way.
GENRE DRAMA
RUNTIME 1 HOUR EPISODIC
Pipeline explores the contentious politics of the Canadian energy sector and how its fluctuations shape social, environmental, cultural, and socioeconomic issues, especially in remote rural communities. With frequent news cycle coverage, these overlapping and often conflicting subjects are familiar to a wide audience and a compelling vehicle to drive the story.
A narrative built around these complex issues is timely and provides an opportunity to platform characters from underserved demographics in terms of primetime storytelling. With Canada and the United States facing many of the same cultural, environmental, and economical problems, the story can be adjusted to suit either market.
The characters, themes, and plot points can also be adapted for international markets.
DR. BRETT – RACETRACK VET
Dr. Brett Racetrack Vet follows the day to day tasks, duties, and challenges of Dr. Brett Anderson, the official racetrack veterinarian of Ajax Downs in Ajax, Ontario. The series will provide an in-depth look at the world of horse racing from a veterinary perspective and focus primarily on how Brett’s best practices combined with a profound passion for his patients ensures the health and safety of every horse.
GENRE REALITY / VET
RUNTIME 42 MINUTE EPISODIC
WATCH REEL
The series will cover a myriad of stories and encounters with colourful characters from horse owners, to jockeys, trainers, outriders, and other veterinary specialists.
Brett’s veterinary clinic will play a secondary role as the backdrop for a variety of small animal stories and feature the personalities of the clinic’s veterinary assistants. Together with Dr. Brett, the team will navigate the daily challenges and successes of running a busy practice in rural Ontario.
The series is part educational, part drama, and accessible for all ages and animal lovers.

Artist Abroad evolved as a proof of concept for a series featuring creative expats— painters, sculptors, musicians, dancers— and the places they’ve chosen to call home. We believe there is something inherently interesting about people who live and work successfully in a creative field outside of their country of origin and wanted to explore how a different culture influences an artist’s work. This film has a little something for everyone: art, food, culture, and travel.
CALL ME RICHARD
Call Me Richard is the story of a passive English teacher unable to cope with the aftermath of a traumatic childhood event. He becomes entangled in an escalating conflict with a narcissistic teenager, who also happens to be the Principal’s daughter.
GENRE DRAMA
RUNTIME 42 MINUTES
The film was shot on location in Port Hope, Cobourg, and Peterborough, Ontario, Canada with a talented cast and crew from the Greater Toronto Area. Henry Hawkes brings a stellar performance as an emotionally stunted beat-down teacher who is pushed to the end of his rope.
Produced by Stewart Richardson and Chris Oliver.
