Duane Farley

I have worn many hats in the entertainment industry from street marketing, music production, music publishing to independent film production. I am currently working on some exciting projects, while still searching to discover new talent and help them showcase their talents to the world.

We are currently looking for:

New Series and DVD Proposals

On average, we receive more than 100 proposals for new series and DVD content ideas each year. In short, we receive a lot of proposals and only proceed with a very small number of them. Familiarizing yourself with AMG and the kind of programming we are interested in is therefore the first step to creating a solid proposal. You can find descriptors of all television shows & DVD content on this website.

New proposals for Canadian programs are accepted year-round. All new independent production proposals are logged upon receipt. When reviewing proposals we look for top quality, dynamic projects that will be a hit with our audience. If your proposal is not right for us at this time, you will be notified in a timely manner. If your proposal is accepted for further consideration, we may ask you to submit additional creative and financial information.

Selected projects commissioned by AMG Visuals will go through a series of development phases. Terms of development are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Our rights expectations and license fees are also negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

A solid proposal must demonstrate:

A strong understanding of your audience and schedule; A strong overall fit with network programming needs; Originality in subject or treatment;

Clarity of approach and focus; Creativity and imagination;

Top-quality writing, research and presentation;

Credentials of production personnel including a proven track record with professional and creative broadcast series production; and

A thorough budget and financing scenario.
