The series follows a first-generation Quebec entrepreneur, who started from nothing and built a prosperous business. His story reveals the ambition, hope and disillusionment of the era.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vitrerie Joyal<\/em> will be filmed entirely in Montreal between May and July, with Matte starring in the lead role, which is inspired by his father. The cast and crew will be made up of local talent. The production team include cover 150 actors and members of the Quebec film industry.<\/p>\n<p>The series is written by Matte in collaboration with Fran\u00e7ois Avard. It is co-produced by Encore and Matte TV for Amazon MGM Studios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project is very personal and important to me,\u201d Matte said. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to bring this story, inspired by my father\u2019s life, to life. Vitrerie Joyal will be a dramatic comedy, and even very dramatic in parts. I&#8217;ve rarely drawn so deeply within myself to write. I\u2019m thrilled to be working with Prime Video to share this tale of a quintessentially Quebec family with audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Vitrerie Joyal<\/em> is a funny, poignant and locally-relevant story that represents Prime Video\u2019s ongoing commitment to our Quebec audience,\u201d commented Brent Haynes, head of originals for Canada at Amazon MGM Studios. \u201cMartin Matte is a uniquely talented and brilliant creator whose vision and personal connection to this story will deliver a series that\u2019s both joyful entertainment and authenticity to our viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Production has begun on Vitrerie Joyal, a new series for Prime Video that comes from Quebecois comedian Martin Matte.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":22459,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[8094,10450,10451,518,10452],"class_list":["post-22458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-amazon-mgm-studios","tag-brent-haynes","tag-martin-matte","tag-prime-video","tag-vitrerie-joyal","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
