Very exciting news today as we partner with THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT in Canada! What could we possible be cooking up…
THUNDERBIRD INKS FIRST-LOOK DEAL WITH SKYBOUND NORTH
VANCOUVER, BC – October 19, 2016 – Thunderbird Entertainment is proud to announce a new partnership with Skybound North, a division of Skybound Entertainment.

The Canadian operation, based in Vancouver, is a full-service production entity focusing on the development and production of content with top Canadian talent.
“We are thrilled to continue building our relationship with Catherine and her team.

Tim [Gamble] and the rest of the Thunderbird team have a proven track record of having produced some of the most innovative programming to come out of Canada,” said Skybound North CEO/Partner Catherine Winder. “This partnership is just the beginning of what will result in ground-breaking content through collaboration with the top and emerging Canadian talent.”
The AMC comic-docu series, Heroes and Villains: The History of Comics, will be one of the first projects produced through the Skybound North and Thunderbird Entertainment partnership.
