PARTNERSHIP HISTORY

Reunion Pictures was formed through a convergence of talent from three leaders in Vancouver production: Richardson, O’Connor and Rowe previously worked together at Pacific Motion Pictures Corporation (PMP); one of Canada’s most successful production companies in the 1990s. PMP earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations and a prestigious Peabody award for ‘The Baby Dance’, which it developed, financed and co-produced for ShowTime. Richardson left PMP in 1998 to form Dogwood Pictures with Muse Entertainment Inc., a Montreal based film and television production and distribution company. O’Connor and Rowe went on to become executives in the motion picture and visual effects company, Sextant Entertainment.

While at Sextant Entertainment, O’Connor and Rowe oversaw the development, financing, production and distribution of a number of television movies, mini-series and episodic productions. ‘100 Days In The Jungle’ won the Gemini Award for Canada’s best television movie. It also enjoyed significant foreign success.

Sextant Entertainment had successful partnerships with Hallmark Entertainment, Carlton International, Granada Television, BBC, Pilot Productions, CTV, The Comedy Network and more. Its business included development, production, financing, animation, visual effects and distribution.

Dogwood, through Richardson’s tutelage, grew to be a highly respected and versatile independent film production company known for its excellence and dedication to filmmaking.

Richardson, through Dogwood, produced feature films with such international companies as CLT-UFA International, J & M Entertainment, New Line Cinema and Lions Gate Films. Richardson has also produced television movies and mini-series for all the major US networks. Additionally, Richardson and Dogwood produced a number of Canadian content and international treaty co-production films.
