Canada\u2019s Insight Productions and Civilized, a digital media company and cannabis lifestyle brand, have partnered to develop content for broadcast and digital platforms.<\/p>\n
The partnership between the two companies, which is effective immediately, will see them develop programming that champions and explores modern cannabis culture. Together, Insight and Civilized will create multiple culture\/lifestyle projects, including docuseries as well as cooking, science and business programs.<\/p>\n
Insight\u2019s VP of development, Tanya Low, is overseeing the creative for Insight, while Derek Riedle, Civilized\u2019s publisher, will oversee creative direction for Civilized.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been impressed with Civilized\u2019s vision of cannabis and culture, and we share a lot of the same creativity, drive and values,\u201d said John Brunton, chairman and CEO of Insight Productions. \u201cCannabis is a really hot space right now, and we\u2019re happy to partner with one of the industry\u2019s creative leaders as we take cannabis programming to the mainstream in new and exciting ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
Low added: \u201cThis is an exciting space for us to collaborate in with Civilized, and we\u2019re looking forward to bringing some innovative content to the market together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Riedle commented: \u201cAs stigma fades, we\u2019re seeing a surge of interest around cannabis. Not only from those who consume it, but particularly from the masses of the canna-curious who want to learn more and see what\u2019s behind the curtain. That curiosity is feeding a tremendous appetite for all things cannabis, and we\u2019re excited to be paving the way with one of the best producers in the country. We\u2019ve always believed that cannabis deserves a place in the mainstream, and this development deal is a tremendous step in that direction. We can\u2019t wait for our fans to see what we have in store for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
