Robert Cousins has left his post as director of production at Toronto’s Accent Entertainment to form a new production company with former Barna-Alper director of development David Weaver. The new enterprise is called A Sight Unseen.

Among the projects A Sight Unseen is developing is Red Ryan, a cbc mow set in the 1930s and written by Andrew Berzines (Blood and Donuts, Straight Up).

Weaver and Cousins also recently developed Wilder Shores of Love with the Canadian Film Centre, although the film was not selected to be produced.

Earlier, the duo teamed up on director/writer Weaver’s award-winning short A Boy’s Own Story, produced by Cousins.

Meanwhile, Weaver’s wrongful dismissal suit against Toronto-based Barna-Alper is currently in discovery in an Ontario Court and it appears the case will go to trial.

Weaver filed the suit after being let go by Barna-Alper last year. At The End of the Day: The Sue Rodriguez Story (cbc), Hard Time: The David Milgaard Story (ctv) and the highly anticipated cbc series DaVinci’s Inquest are currently on Barna-Alper’s slate.
