Who We Are

Based in Toronto, Canada, Neshama Entertainment is an award-winning production company founded in 2018 with a mission to develop, produce, and distribute exceptional Canadian content for audiences worldwide. Our work spans a diverse range of formats and genres — crafted through strong partnerships across Canada and through international co-productions.

At the heart of Neshama is a commitment to collaboration and creativity. We’re proud to work hand-in-hand with Canada’s most talented producers, writers, directors, actors, editors, composers, and cinematographers to bring authentic and compelling stories to life.

FOX Entertainment Studios is a proud shareholder in Neshama. Through this partnership, FOX Entertainment Global manages worldwide distribution for all Neshama-produced content, while Neshama oversees Canadian distribution.

With more than 100 feature-length films produced and a growing slate of television series, features, and MOWs in development, Neshama continues to shape the landscape of Canadian entertainment. Our acclaimed one-hour drama, The Way Home — Hallmark’s first original series in seven years — premiered in early 2023 to widespread success, earning the Audience Choice Award at the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards.
