In his expanded role, the Toronto-based exec will source, develop and oversee production on all scripted series and films for the division, which sits within Cineflix Media. He reports to JC Mills, president and head of content at Cineflix Productions.

Vanderwal has been with the scripted team since 2018, working on film projects including I Was Lorena Bobbitt and Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey, in addition to crime thrillers Stolen by Their Father and Left for Dead: The Ashley Reeves Story.

He is currently developing a crime series based on Canadian author Sam Wiebe’s Wakeland novel series. Cineflix Productions said he is also focusing on another soon-to-be-announced scripted project.

His other credits with Cineflix Productions include the music-based holiday movie Undercover Holiday for Hallmark Channel and Lifetime’s Miracle in Motor City.

“Jeff has been instrumental in building Cineflix Productions’ scripted division with a strong slate of gripping true crime thrillers, modern holiday classics and compelling series,” said Mills.

“He’s great with talent, spot-on with story and delivers high production values necessary to capture an audience.”
