Manitoba stories, built for the world.
We develop original features and series rooted here — specific enough to be true, universal enough to travel.
ORIGINAL CONTENT
Why we’re developing our own.
Canada's screen industry is at an inflection point. Audiences and platforms are looking for authentic, place-based storytelling — and Manitoba has the crews, the infrastructure, and some of the most compelling untold stories in the country.
Bonus Productions exists to tell them — with the production rigour of a company that delivers for major studios and broadcasters, and the conviction of producers who know this place intimately.
IN DEVELOPMENT
Wish Chip
Feature film · Coming-of-age drama · In development
Summer, 1993. A lonely, imaginative ten-year-old spends the season at his grandmother's lakeside trailer, escaping into elaborate fantasy worlds with his puppet best friend — until a new friendship pulls him toward growing up, first desire, and the painful cost of letting go.
A tender, funny story about imagination and change, and a quiet portrait of a queer kid discovering himself in the Canadian prairies. Written and directed by Reed Makayev; developed with Bonus Productions.
Calloway
Television Series · Crime Drama · In development
When the dismembered body of a celebrated music festival founder exposes the hidden fractures of Manitoba’s Interlake, RCMP Major Crimes Investigator, Roxanne Calloway, must decide how much truth a close-knit community can bear — and what she’s willing to sacrifice to find out.
Based on the Roxanne Calloway novels by Manitoba author Raye Anderson. A Bonus Productions original, in development as a series.
Both projects are in active development. We’re seeking development and production partners who share our commitment to character-driven, place-rooted storytelling.START A CONVERSATION.
