History
Reel One was initially founded by Tom Berry under the name “Première Bobine” and registered in Montreal, Quebec, in 2001. Tom Berry was previously CEO of Allegro Films, a Canadian entertainment company, which was sold and integrated into the Groupe Québecor in 1997.[3][4] Since then, he has produced and executive produced more than 130 movies and TV series in Canada and the United States. Reel One also works with producer Pierre David.[5] Reel One produces on average 10 to 15 television movies a year - including science-fiction and thrillers - and original series. In 2012, the company branched into international distribution with its own television movies and established an international office in London to handle distribution outside North America.
