Who would have thought that in a country where government is the keeper of culture, a pay-television network is a significant force in getting Canadian feature films made.
Original series on The Movie Network are different from other Canadian dramas in that they’re ad-free. There are subscription fees for viewers to pay, and the service must provide value to consumers in return.
Subscribers to The Movie Network can look forward to three new Canadian drama series this fall. Gritty cop show The Weight, political thriller ZOS: Zone of Separation, and gothic adventure spectacle Sanctuary will debut in autumn, according to Michelle Marion, director of Canadian independent production at TMN.
Since its launch in 1983, The Movie Network has been at the cutting edge of video technology.
