Pitch Us

Swim Dock Studios is actively looking to build our slate of content. 

Our primary focus is currently on UNSCRIPTED: Reality, Documentary, and Talk Shows. 

We love projects that build and showcase CANADIAN talent. We are looking for both audio (podcast) and visual (tv shows, web series etc) projects. All projects & pitches must have plans for a strong and innovative digital strategy

We are particularly interested in: 

Talk/Panel Shows: 

  • Original Panel Shows that allow Canadian talent and humour to shine (We love shows like Because News or Big Fat Quiz of the Year)
  • Innovative Interview Web/podcasts Shows (Think about the chicken shows: Hot Ones and Chicken Shop Date are both great!) 

Reality Shows: 

  • Reality Competition Shows with heart (We love shows like Canada’s Ultimate Challenge, Master Chef Canada and Farming for Love)
  • Original Formats that showcase our established talent (Think Battle of the Blades, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, and The Traitors)
  • Talent Finding Shows that boost unknown Canadian talent and that families that can watch together to discover the next wave of Canadian talent  (Canadian Idol, Dragons Den etc) 
  • Unstructured Reality Shows that focus on unique groups of Canadians (putting a Canadian twist on the best of Bravo

Documentaries: 

  • Feature Length Documentaries with a focus on Canadian pop culture heros (We adored Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe)
  • Short Documentaries about Niche Canadian experiences (like the Midland Butter Tart Festival!
