For 30 years as the leading provider for the entertainment industry in Canada, William F. White International and the Cornweb Group (1988-2018) celebrated with their annual industry TIFF event.

Cornweb Group was founded by Chairman/CEO Paul Bronfman, in partnership with well-known legendary Hollywood producer/writer Stephen J. Cannell (A-Team, Rockford Files, 21 Jump Street, etc.) in 1998.

Comweb built and managed Canada’s first Hollywood style studio complex, North Shore Studios in Vancouver. The original home of the smash television series hit, The X-Files, North Shore Studios played a significant role in the growth of film and television production in Canada.
Another cause for celebration was the announcement of the Jay Switzer Comweb/William F. White Int’l Indigenous Creator Scholarship as a tribute to the late Canadian media figure. Administered through the Canadian Film Centre, the $100,000 award will be distributed over the next 10 years, a fitting tribute to a beloved figure in the industry.
