Geddes, whose role spanned drama series and feature films, has left to take on a new job, though his next move has not yet been revealed. Yesterday was his final day at Bell Media.

For the past two years, Toronto-based Geddes has managed a slate of TV series and feature films for broadcast network CTV, streamer Crave and Bell Media’s portfolio of specialty networks.

He has worked on titles including Transplant, Riceboy Sleeps, Transplant and Me, My Mom & Sharmila.

From 2017 to 2021, Geddes was executive in charge of production for Bell Media’s slate of short films, before being promoted to production executive, original programming, for drama and feature film.

Prior to joining Bell Media in 2017, Geddes was a director of photography at Toronto-based RTA Productions.

Geddes said: “I’ve had the fortunate chance to work across a variety of dynamic television series, films and short films during my time with the original production team, collaborating with a variety of talented partners, creatives and colleagues along the way to cultivate a portfolio of best-in-class content.

“I am beyond grateful to Bell Media for affording me the opportunity to nurture and develop my skills as a creative executive, and to all of the wonderful individuals who were instrumental in my career growth to this point.”
