Canada's Lighthouse Pictures appoints Trevor McWhinney to SVP of content

Canada-based Lighthouse Pictures has promoted Trevor McWhinney to SVP of content as part of the company’s global expansion strategy.

This news follows the elevation of Jameson Parker to CEO, and the company’s majority acquisition by Martini Film Studios earlier this year.

Trevor previously held the position of VP of business development and VP of production, producing several TV series and films including the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, The Show (directed by Giancarlo Esposito), the holiday hit Three Wise Men and a Baby and its hugely successful sequel Three Wiser Men and a Boy.

In his new position at Lighthouse, Trevor will oversee Lighthouse’s strategy for developing and producing original TV movies, collaborating with writers, clients and producers on new projects, from the development stage through to greenlight and delivery.

His role will also focus on discovery and mentorship of new creative talent, as well as consultancy on production, union and business affairs.

Lighthouse Pictures specialises in producing film and series projects for a range of leading networks and platforms, including Hallmark, A&E/Lifetime, MarVista, Netflix, Disney, Sony, GAF and CBS/ Viacom, with over 250 projects produced during the last 10 years.
