Breakthrough Entertainment Announces Partnership with Vast Entertainment

Breakthrough Entertainment, one of Canada's leading studios, continues their expansion into the US market, having finalized a new strategic partnership with Lane Shefter Bishop's Los Angeles based Vast Entertainment. The venture will task Vast to produce and direct both romantic holiday films and female-lead thrillers, while Breakthrough will serve as international distributor.

"We are elated to have the opportunity to forge a strong relationship with Lane and Vast Entertainment. Their dynamic approach to production and ability to create quality adaptations make Vast an ideal partner for us. The collaboration will undoubtedly produce attractive films for television audiences globally," said Ira Levy, Partner, Executive Producer at Breakthrough Entertainment.

The pact covers 6-8 TV movies produced over eighteen months in both Canada and the United States, starting with "Switch" a dark thriller about the murder of one sister's twin. The movies will target the North American TV market for buyers such as Lifetime, Netflix, and Hallmark, and will be produced for international distribution.

Bishop is a multi-award-winning producer/director who has received numerous accolades for her work including an EMMY, and she has made Vast Entertainment the go-to book-to-screen company.

Lane Shefter Bishop, CEO of Vast Entertainment said, "We are excited to begin this organic partnership with Breakthrough, a studio at the forefront of producing and distributing premium content both in NORTH AMERICA and internationally. I am confident the resources we have together will allow this joint venture to grow and prosper."
