Paris Paris (PRODUCTION 26 episodes of 30 min.) “Imagine… a tunnel crossing the Atlantic in 10 minutes! A comedy that takes us on a journey from Paris, Ontario, Canada, to Paris, France, humorously following the existential crisis of a couple seeking to escape the monotonous life they’ve locked themselves into.
The passage Philippe found in his basement, linking Paris in Ontario and Paris in France, helped him through his mid-life crisis. His foray into the theatrical world of the City of Light made him realize that he wasn’t cut out for the life of an artist, and that there was only one Paris where he could truly find happiness: his own, in Ontario. In the second season, it’s Jenny’s turn to see what the tunnel has to offer. While she was expecting to stroll along the Seine and the Champs-Élysées, the tunnel transports her to Paris… in Texas! Stuck in the middle of nowhere, in a small American town that offers nothing but pitfalls, Jenny gradually learns how to tame the chaos that surrounds her. Between these three Parisian towns, without ever losing its roots or falling into fantasy, the series explores the mid-life crisis with a healthy dose of humor.

Trill Club (in development)
Trill Club
(DEV 6*1hour)
Psychological intrigue set in the world of figure skating. Figure skating is a sport in which you have to please a system to win. The enemy comes from within: the barrier of tradition, of good taste, the fear of being different, of the way others look at you. After being fired for no apparent reason, a figure skating coach struggles to rebuild her confidence and reputation through a rebellious but talented young skater. Little does she know that other forces are at play to thwart her; political, financial and emotional forces whose source turns out to be much closer to her than she thinks.
