- Code Kids is a documentary that follows four successful tech leaders and entrepreneurs as they influence change on a policy level, and on the front lines with teachers and students. This is a film that will document the beginnings of a cultural, educational and technological revolution that is only just starting in Atlantic Canada. David Alston, Gavin Uhma, Nicole Leblanc and Jevon MacDonald are four leaders in the Atlantic Canadian tech sector. All four are investing their time heavily back into the community and the region. They also share a vision to see every child in Atlantic Canada learn code to prepare them for a fast paced and excited future. David, Nicole, Gavin and Jevon each have contributed to this vision in unique ways. This documentary will follow each of the four as they work with schools, politicians, parents and industry leaders to help see this vision become reality over the winter and Spring semester of 2014. If there is buy in from leadership and from the residents of the region, their efforts will be considered a success. This is a model that is inspired by countries like Finland and Estonia who have successfully rebuilt their economy and education systems by integrating coding into all aspects of learning. In a region that loses thousands of young people every year to the West, the stakes are high. If the kids are not being prepared with the tools necessary to succeed careers in the knowledge sectors, then there is a very good chance that we will lose more of them as they move to other regions that have other career opportunities. This film will also follow the stories of the students that the four leaders are mentoring. As it turns out each of the mentors are helping students from four levels of education.

- Cubicle to the Cage is a 12-by-30-minute docu-soap about a group of ordinary people on an extraordinary journey as they commit a year of their lives to becoming professional Mixed Martial Arts fighters. This is a documentary series about people pushing past what they ever imagined they could endure - or achieve. It is a celebration of unusual passion and courage in average people who refuse to accept the mundane shapes their lives have assumed. The hard-hitting series does not hold anything back - its depiction of the stress and violence of the sport is a body-blow to the senses. But, as much as it is physical, the challenges are inward, too. More than simply a makeover series about turning wimps into fighting machines, Cubicle to the Cage is a multifaceted journey of self-discovery - physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual. Along the way, the characters learn things about themselves they never could have from the safety of their cubicle lives. But to transcend their limits, they have to find them first. As Season 1 progresses, and the "Cubes" leave behind the safety and security of their cubicle lives - not to mention the comforts of a social life, family time, and relaxation - pain becomes a constant companion, exhaustion a way of life, and the prospect of serious injury just a punch or kick away.
