M ontreal’s Pixcom has boosted its content capacity with three new appointments within its scripted division.

The prodco has hired Martine Pagé to its scripted development team as director of fiction development. Pagé reports to Charles Lafortune, creative head and executive producer. She has more than two decades of experience in the screen sector and has previously worked with Pixcom on projects such as Max et Livia and Contre-offre.

The company has also recruited Isabelle Courval and Véronique Gaudet as scripted producers, reporting to Pixcom president and executive producer Nicola Merola.

Pixcom has steadily grown its French and English scripted content, including the Citytv series Wong & Winchester, which went into production in Montreal in August.

The prodco earned seven wins at the Prix Gémeaux last weekend, including five for the dramedy Audrey’s Back (pictured) out of its 13 nominations.

Pixcom premiered its daily legal drama Indéfendable (120 x 30 minutes) on TVA on Sept. 12, with episodes running Mondays to Thursdays. The series has garnered more than 1.4 million viewers in its first week, according to a spokesperson for Pixcom.

Merola and Lafortune said it is “the right time to advance our commitment to scripted content” in a joint statement, adding that the expanded scripted teams will “amplify our production efforts well into 2023 and beyond.”
