Let’s make Canadian history!
Let’s make Canadian history!This will be THE definitive series about Canadian spy operations!
More than 25 former members of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) have agreed to step out of the shadows and share their incredible stories about Canada’s hidden spy history in THE SERVICE, a hard-hitting, cinematic documentary series unlike anything seen before.
But to secure funding and a broadcast deal, we need to prove massive public demand. That’s where YOU come in.
Our plan? Two big, bold, mysterious billboards—one in Ottawa, CSIS’s home, and one in Toronto, Canada’s media capital.
Just imagine driving past a giant ad for THE SERVICE with the tagline: If you know, you know. The intrigue alone will spark conversation, generate buzz, and show broadcasters this is a series Canadians want!
This campaign funds those billboards for one month. Any additional funds raised will go directly to further developing and promoting this important documentary series.
When this campaign succeeds, it will allow us to promote this series to the public in a way almost unheard of for independent producers today.
It will light the fuse for a series that will blow open Canada’s hidden spy world and make Canadian television history! But, if we don’t succeed this time, you pay nothing.
Help us shine a spotlight on these untold stories—and make Canadian history.
