‘Three Wiser Men And A Baby’ Producer Lighthouse Pictures Names Content Boss

EXCLUSIVE: Three Wiser Men and a Baby producer Lighthouse Pictures has upped Trevor McWhinney to SVP of Content.

McWhinney was previously the Canadian studio’s VP of Business Development and VP of Production. His new gig will see him oversee Lighthouse’s strategy for developing and producing original TV movies. He will collaborate with writers, clients and producers on new projects, from the development stage through to greenlight, while focusing on discovery and mentorship of new creative talent.

McWhinney is the creator and producer behind Gotta Grudge?, which aired in 12 countries and led to a deal on the hit series Dragon’s Den. His promotion comes as part of the company’s global expansion strategy, it said. Lighthouse recently promoted Jameson Parker to CEO after Martini Film Studios took a majority stake.

McWhinney said: “Having worked with its talented team for so many years, I have seen how the company has evolved and built a strong reputation for producing high quality productions both across Canada and internationally.”

Vancouver-based Lighthouse’s past credits include the likes of Netflix Stephen King adaptation 1922, and Hallmark’s Three Wiser Men and a Baby plus sequel Three Wiser Men and a Boy.
