Alliance Atlantis is closing one of the finest television productions studios in the world:
Alliance Atlantis (TSX:ACC.b) has announced that its Academy Award-winning Salter Street Films division has laid off its last employee and is about to close.
The Halifax-based company produced This Hour Has 22 Minutes and earlier this year won an Oscar for co-producing the Michael Moore documentaryBowling for Columbine.
Last week, Alliance Atlantis announced a series of cuts due to a “permanent downturn” in demand for film and television programming. - CBC
Dear Alliance Atlantis: You’re the company who’s distributing The Return of the King. The profits from that alone could fund Salter Street - rethink this decision.
