ONE OF A KIND LOVE: Kyra’s dreams of being a jeweller have been put on the backburner, as her demanding job at the Sawyer Country Club is her priority.

Enter Aiden Sawyer, prodigal son, big-city business magnate and Kyra’s childhood nemesis, returning home to the country club his parents own. As they patch up their past, Kyra and Aiden learn that there may be something more between them than just playful flirting. But when Kyra enters a renowned jewellery contest to raise enough money to outbid the mystery renter, Aiden finds himself in a race against time to make everything right.

 Montreal, July 30th, 2020 – In accordance with on-set safety protocols and revised health provisions, Incendo has initiated production on the original Rom Com, A LOVE YARN. Building on the success of previously produced projects in this genre, the film will run in parallel with additional Romantic Comedy themed projects slated for production in 2020 and 2021. 

As one of Canada’s leading content producers, with offices in Montreal, Toronto and Los Angeles, Incendo’s evolving corporate strategy includes international co-productions, starting with Screentime New Zealand. These additional growth opportunities will continue to set the stage for industry alignment and an enhanced business model, all within a newly established era of film production and COVID-19 safety parameters. 

This approach comes with a fresh perspective on this largely demanded genre, at a time when global audiences are looking for optimistic, fun and lighthearted entertainment programming. 

Additional series and films on the development slate include heavily sought-after children’s themed programming, action-packed, high-stakes thrillers and smart, thought-provoking dramas. A total of eight films will go into production this year with an additional eleven slated to start production in 2021. We are also in development on the intense drama-thriller ICE, which will be produced with our partners Lionsgate UK and Further South Productions. 

Incendo’s united partnerships combined with innovative and creative viewpoints will bring these must-see narratives to life with appealing storylines, relatable, modernistic characters set against powerful backdrops, with projects shooting in exotic locations across Canada, Europe, Africa and New Zealand. 

“Focusing on a new content category has reinforced our commitment to this premium and highly-sourced genre and is a vital part of our ongoing slate of series and films,” said Gavin Reardon, Head of International Sales and Co-Productions. “We are thrilled to collaborate with exceptional industry talent and creative partners alongside carefully reinforced safety standards.” 

As a part of Incendo’s market strategy and outlook, executive leadership announcements, re-defined business positioning and exciting new content distribution partners will be revealed in September.
