NBC Universal looks north for talent

NBC Universal has set its sights on Canada and, in collaboration with the Canadian Film Centre, is launching a new talent development program designed to draw out writers with original concepts that could potentially land at the U.S. studio. The NBC Universal Content Creator Program, set to launch in the fall, will gather talent from across Canada to take part in forums and workshops in Toronto that focus on innovative storytelling, pitching and packaging. Any scripts or concepts produced through the program will be considered for TV.
