Cineflix Media Grows Scripted Team

MONTREAL: Industry veteran Brett Burlock, formerly of Sea to Sky (Ascension), has been named senior VP of scripted at Cineflix Media.

In his new role, Burlock will be tasked with sourcing and developing scripted series and MOWs for the U.S. and Canada, as well as for the international market. He will be responsible for developing programming internally and with third-party co-production partners. He will work out of the company’s Toronto office.

Prior to joining Cineflix Media, Burlock served as VP at Sea to Sky, a cross-border studio partnership between Lionsgate Television and Thunderbird Films. Before that, he led scripted development for Take 5 and was the VP of development for CTV. In that role, he oversaw all creative matters and CTV’s original production slate, including U.S. network co-productions The Bridge and Flashpoint with CBS, and The Borgias with Showtime.

Glen Salzman, Cineflix Media’s co-founder and co-CEO, said, “Brett has the reputation for bringing together talented writers and producers to develop and produce must-have series for networks around the globe. He’s the perfect fit with our strategy to push further into the scripted space.”

Burlock added: “With its global distribution business and exciting strategic relationships with the likes of Participant Media and the U.K.’s Buccaneer Media, Cineflix is uniquely positioned to draw from an international talent pool to expand on the success of compelling series such as Gangland Undercover and Buccaneer’s Marcella. I’m thrilled to be joining such a dynamic indie and building on their momentum.”
