VisionTV narrows dramedy proposals to three


TORONTO – VisionTV has short-listed three original comedy-drama series projects for development.

The multi-faith and multicultural network said that the three projects were chosen from among the over 270 submissions that it received in response to a recent call for dramedy series proposals.

The projects are Local 69, from Toronto-based Hungry Eyes Film and Television, Saint Michael from Toronto-based Shaftesbury Films and Henry Less Productions, and Taking on Water from Vancouver-based Soapbox Productions.

One of the three projects will be greenlit for production once the producers finish the first phase of development, which will include the creation of a pilot script and series bible.  VisionTV said that it will broadcast the completed series in the Fall of 2010.
