TORONTO, March 25, 2025 — The Canadian Media Producers Association today announced a delegation of eight documentary producers attending the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival (CPH:DOX) in Denmark this week. 

The initiative aims to connect Canadian documentary producers with international partners and collaborators for co-production, funding and distribution opportunities. Canadian producers will join no less than 20 delegations of producers from around the world for curated programming, including roundtables, networking events and mentorship programs.

This is particularly important in today’s global media landscape, where international partnerships are not only beneficial but often essential to getting projects produced and seen worldwide.” 

Participating producers include:

• Ell McEachern, 3Story Pictures

• Michael Grand, Grand Scheme
