CBC has greenlit Snapshots (6×30), an unscripted live-action series from FORTÉ Entertainment and Headtrip Films. Co-created by executive producers Andrea Gabourie and Mitch Gabourie, Snapshots is an interactive, hosted competition series and website that engages school-aged children in a competition that uses photography to tell their own stories and share their vision of the world around them.
“We were drawn to Snapshots because it enables kids to express themselves through the unique lens through which they see the world.” said Martin Markle, senior director of Children’s Content for CBC. “Photography will give the participants and the audience a deeper perspective on visual art and the world around them.”
In each episode, three kids go head-to-head in a series of picture snapping challenges designed to test their creativity, ingenuity and passion. Their best photos will be displayed publicly for photography experts to judge. The companion website cbc.ca/kidscbc2/ will allow children from across Canada to compete in a digital spin-off competition based on challenges from the show.
Snapshots begins filming in June 2024 and will be broadcast in September 2024. Snapshots was developed with the assistance of the CMF and The Bell Fund and is a recipient of the Shaw Rocket Fund.
FORTÉ and Headtrip have also just inked a deal with Warner Brothers International to option the format rights to the series in New Zealand.
