New Metric Media, Encore Partner for Bilingual Project

New Metric Media has teamed with Encore to co-produce an as-yet-untitled bilingual miniseries.

The romantic comedy sees a Québécois family and an Anglo-Ontarian family come together, despite their differences, for an unforgettable wedding weekend. The project is based on a concept created by Mark Montefiore, founder and CEO of New Metric Media.

“We’re excited to collaborate with the insanely talented producteurs d’Encore on this hilarious nouvelle serie that will transcend barriers de la langue and playfully bridge the gap between Québécois and English cultures, all while laughing at it at the same time,” commented Montefiore. “This project is a celebration of inclusivity, laughter and the unique charm that defines le coeur du Canada.”

Julie Provençal, president of Encore, added, “As comedy is part of Encore’s DNA, nous sommes très heureux to work with New Metric Media. With Mark, his incredibly talented team and a project that made us rire at the first words, it was only natural for us to join forces. We dated for a while and finally said oui to each other!”
