NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) April 12, 2017 -- Urban Movie Channel (UMC) will premiere the highly anticipated entertainment documentary from up and coming Canadian filmmakers Sheldon Shaw, Johnwoo Richardson, and Shawn Harris, This is For Toronto on April 14, 2017. Co-produced by Potential Films and Outspoken Media Group, This is For Toronto takes viewers on a thought provoking ride throughout Toronto from an industry insider perspective. Created by Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET), UMC provides a vehicle to showcase the hidden talent and ambition of young Canadians in the world of entertainment.

A tribute to the fourth largest city in North America, This is For Toronto explores the rise of entertainment culture in the Canadian mecca and the global impact that it has been making on the industry. In the documentary, veterans and millennial interviewees share their insight on how far the city of Toronto has come, where it is going, and the accomplishments achieved by its fellow citizens worldwide. There has surprisingly never been a documentary about the entertainment industry in Toronto until now.

“The Canadian entertainment market has been overlooked for years. We felt it was time to enlighten people across the globe about our accomplishments and milestones worldwide,” said Sheldon Shaw, Founder of Potential Films. “The documentary provides a voice that has never been heard before until now. Thanks to UMC our message can be properly delivered to the world. We are so thankful to Angela Northington for seeing our vision,” said Terry L. Cyrus, Founder and CEO of Outspoken Media Group.
