Two leading women-led production companies in Manitoba, Fiasco Global Media and Bonus Production Services, are joining forces to drive the creation of new scripted TV projects out of Canada.
The two companies will collaborate on a slate of scripted projects, with Fiasco taking the lead on sourcing, creative development, packaging and market strategy while leveraging Bonus Production Services’ production expertise, financing support, and executive capabilities. The focus will be on Canadian stories with international appeal.
“What immediately stood out was the strength of the Bonus team and the way they approach production,” said Jennifer Beasley, president of Fiasco Global Media. “Bonus has built the kind of production reputation every development company wants beside it. They know how to make ambitious work actually happen, creatively, financially, and practically. For Fiasco, this alliance gives our development slate a stronger production foundation and a deeper connection to one of the best production ecosystems in Canada.”
“The team at Fiasco brings a strong development point of view, sharp market instincts and a global perspective,” said Ellen Rutter of Bonus Production Services. “They are entertainment-first, collaborative and selective in the best way, with a clear sense of the kinds of series they want to build. For Bonus, this alliance allows us to become more involved in development while bringing our production and financing experience to projects from the beginning.”
