MONTREAL – WAM Media has created a new scripted division that will be headed up by Misha Solomon.
With over 20 years in factual and lifestyle production leadership, this is the Montreal-based company’s first foray into scripted content production.
“The success of our award-winning hybrid factual series, CBC’s The Detectives, and Netflix and Investigation Discovery’s Real Detective, has opened the door for us to expand the company into the scripted space and we are truly pleased to have Misha Solomon lead this expansion,” said executive producer and partner Scott Bailey, in the announcement.
Formerly director of scripted development at Muse Entertainment, Solomon will facilitate creative partnerships and oversee the development of scripted projects while managing and maintaining a slate of smart, authentic projects for Canada and the international market.
“Misha’s in-depth knowledge of scripted content coupled with his character and passion make him a perfect addition to our team,” added executive producer and partner Petro Duszara. “We look forward to collaborating with Canada’s storytellers to develop and produce fresh high-end content for the scripted market.”
