The Slack
We are incredibly proud to celebrate Vanessa King on the release of The Slack, a haunting, slow-burning maritime noir set on New Brunswick’s Fundy coast.
​
Created, co-written, and directed by Vanessa, The Slack was filmed in St. Martins, Hampton, and Smithtown, NB, and tells a gripping, non-linear mystery that explores memory, trust, and truth when nothing is quite as it seems.
Congratulations to Vanessa and the entire cast and crew on this powerful achievement.

Groove
The official trailer and poster for GROOVE have been released, marking an exciting step toward the premiere of this original scripted television series developed, produced, and filmed in Saint John, New Brunswick.
Created by Korex Taiwo Adebayo and produced by Korexcalibur Inc., GROOVE follows six students placed in a university “integration” living program, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and cultural integration as deeper systemic pressures begin to surface. Honest, timely, and deeply relevant, the series reflects lived experiences within multicultural communities while showcasing the depth of creative talent in our province.
Filmed primarily at UNB Saint John, the production was made possible with the support of local partners, including the New Brunswick Film Co-op, Saint John Arts Centre, and the Saint John Newcomer Centre, a powerful example of community-driven storytelling.
Bedaine
From Connexions Productions, Bedaine follows a once-adored superhero, formerly known as The Sparrow (Ryan Doucette), now living in quiet obscurity in his Nova Scotia hometown after a tragic event. Struggling with loss and self-doubt, he is forced to confront his past when an ambitious scientist, Dr. Évelyne (Sofia Blondin), arrives with plans that threaten the future of his community.
Blending humour, heart, and regional storytelling, the series explores redemption and resilience in unexpected ways.
The first four episodes premiered on February 26 on ICI TOU.TV EXTRA, with the remaining episodes launching on March 5th.
