\n\t\u201cDocumentary storytelling is changing quickly, but audiences still respond to the same thing: Stories that feel honest, specific and emotionally true,\u201d added Russell, exec producer at Paper Route. \u201cWe want Paper Route to be a home for ambitious filmmakers and partners who care as much about the substance of a project as they do about its reach.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tRussell\u2019s credits include Prime Video\u2019s All or Nothing: Toronto Maple Leafs<\/em>; the Critics Choice Award-winning The Go-Go\u2019s<\/em>, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival; the Canadian Screen Award-winning Rush: Time Stand Still<\/em>; Killing Patient Zero<\/em>; Hot Docs entry Beautiful<\/em> Scars<\/em>; and Blue Rodeo: Lost Together<\/em>.

He has sold series to Ovation and co-founded Rabbithole, a hybrid studio focused on next-gen visual production. He has produced creative work for the likes of Vice and SharkNinja.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cA strong idea should never be limited by the way things have always been done,\u201d said Vermette. \u201cNew production technologies give us more ways to explore an idea and expand on what is possible, but it still takes creative judgment and craft to turn that possibility into something audiences will remember.\u201d<\/p>\n
