Signe OlynykSigne Olynyk is the writer/producer, and key creative force behind Twilight Pictures. For the past five years, Signe has committed herself to developing various projects, and actively seeking coproductions with Canadian and International partners. She is the producer, creator, and writer of "Suzuki’s World", a travel show with Dr. David Suzuki and his family, produced for CBC. She also wrote/coproduced a docudrama for the Discovery Channel about three orphaned cougars found near Banff. Most recently, she wrote and produced a six part series for Access Television, and also started the Great American PitchFest and the Great Canadian PitchFest events in an effort to help other writer/producers meet the people they need to know for their shows to move forward. She is also marketing several feature film scripts to Los Angeles producers in an effort to have these projects produced in Canada and abroad. Some of these meetings have resulted in Signe being asked to coproduce and service produce several US feature films in the 4-5 million US range. In the past several years, the following projects have been approved to receive development / production support from broadcasters, or option agreements from other production companies:
These are all projects developed by Signe Olynyk at Twilight Pictures. Signe started her career by freelancing in the Alberta film industry in Canada, working a variety of positions such as Production Assistant, Assistant to the Producers, and Production Coordinating. Prior to freelancing, she worked in the marketing and copyrite departments at Access Television. She then worked as Production Manager and Associate Producer for two independent feature films, as well as a series pilot, which she wrote and produced. She has more than fifty professional credits in various positions, teaches professional development workshops on writing, producing, and production management, and was a recent juror for the American Screenwriter’s Association Screenplay Competition. For the past four years, Signe has focused on developing programming and building relationships with various broadcasters and studios. As her career objective was (and still is) to write and produce dramatic series, she has spent much of her time writing spec scripts for shows such as "Jake and the Kid", "The X-Files", and "Touched By An Angel". She has also developed several of her own dramatic series, including "The Twilight Years" (6 scripts & bible) and "To Wander Among Men" (18 scripts, pilot produced & bible). However, in order to achieve the experience and credibility required to produce dramatic series, Signe expanded her development to include other types of programming and her company has experienced rapid growth since that time. |
