Connect with the Fibe TV1 team in St. John’s on June 10 and 11 for an engaging information session! The day will also feature a Q&A portion + speed pitching meetings where you can pitch your idea to a TV1 producer. In attendance will be Supervising Producer, John Buffone, and Senior Producer, Paul Gardner.

Both emerging and established creators are encouraged to register. Fibe TV1 welcomes projects across a spectrum of genres such as:

• Docuseries
• Food and lifestyle
• Sports and outdoor
• Scripted comedy and drama
• Other genres

These projects should have a quick hook with Newfoundland & Labrador being an integral and specific element of the story.

Register by Friday June 5 at [email protected]. In your rsvp, please indicate your preferred attendance date and if you'll be attending the info session, pitch meetings or both. Once registered, you'll receive full event details.

*Note: at this time, filmmakers must be Newfoundland & Labrador residents or plan on partnering with a local filmmaker, on-screen personality, or nonprofit organization. If you don't meet these criteria, you're still very welcome to register for the event, pitch your project, and talk with the Bell Producers about opportunities.

After six amazing weeks, our second annual Newfoundland & Labrador Writers' Room Program has come to an end!

We’d like to extend a massive thank you to showrunner Stephen Dunn, story editors Aditya Sikka, Dana Puddicombe, Emily Bridger, Wanda Nolan and story coordinator Michael Peers for making this year's program a success. Together, the group completed the pilot script for Dunn’s new TV series.

We’d also like to thank Writers Guild of Canada mentors, Jenn Engles and Noelle Carbone for mentoring the writers on the development of their own projects. And lastly, CNA’s Paul L. Pope Centre for TV and Film for their support in delivering this program.
