CBC Prime Time Television Program

Applications are now being accepted for the
CBC Prime Time Television Program

APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 18, 2012

The five-month CBC Prime Time Television Program provides a team-based approach to TV series development for writers. With an enviable reputation for its delivery of excellent training and quality project development, Prime Time aids residents in mastering the tools required for: working in a story department, developing dramatic series material, and surviving as a successful writer in the television marketplace. National and international broadcaster and network guests provide real exposure to practical issues such as programming, advertising, production realities, casting and other pragmatic concerns.

“The CFC's CBC Prime Time TV Program gave me the tools, contacts, and confidence to go from a semi-working screenwriter to a full-time writer/producer within a year's time.  There's no doubt in my mind that without the Centre my career would never have moved as fast, or as fortuitously.  There's no other program more respected, or more effective, in this country.”

-Adam Barken

“The CBC Prime Time Television Program at the Canadian Film Centre was invaluable to me in terms of honing my craft and helping to launch my career. Whenever I can I enjoy returning to the Centre to spend a couple of days mentoring new students and to size up the next generation of talent who will one day be putting me out of work. “

- Rob Sheridan,
                                    Alumnus ("Mad Love", "Crash Canyon",
                                        "Home Game" – upcoming series with ABC)
