Shavick Entertainment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shavick Entertainment is a Canadian film and television production company. Owned and operated in Burnaby, British Columbia by James Shavick and his wife, former British Columbia politician Joy MacPhail, the company has primarily produced television films, as well as a few theatrical films and a number of television series, including The New Addams Family and Breaker High.

The company has also produced a number of LGBT-themed projects for the American gay television network here!, such as the series Dante's Cove and a series of mystery films starring Chad Allen as gay detective Donald Strachey. James Shavick has been a longtime professional associate of that network's founder Paul Colichman. In the summer of 2006, Shavick Entertainment also acquired a majority share in the similar Canadian network OUTtv and sister station HARD on PrideVision, and announced plans to build a closer business relationship between OUTtv and here!, including sharing programming content.
