What is Divalopment?

Founded in 2025 and based in Hollywood North—Toronto, Canada, Divalopment Productions is rewriting the rules of who gets to tell stories in film and television. Rooted in international collaboration, our company is dedicated to championing women—especially those over 40—into leadership roles behind the camera.

Despite representing over half of the population, women remain critically underrepresented in directing, writing, and producing roles. The statistics are even more stark for women of color and mature female voices. Divalopment exists to change that narrative.

We are more than a production company—we are a movement. By centering equity, representation, voice, longevity, power, and opportunity, we amplify women’s creative vision while building lasting careers in the entertainment industry. Our projects span film, television, and digital media, each one designed to challenge outdated norms and open new doors.

We believe that financial control equals leverage of power, and creators should never be forced to give that power away. At Divalopment, we use a creator-first IP model that ensures writers retain ownership of their ideas, while benefiting from strategic development, mentorship, and investor access through our slate. We protect creators’ rights while maximizing their ability to profit, grow, and lead.

Our impact extends far beyond Canada. Through international mentorship programs, we nurture female talent across borders, creating opportunities for women worldwide to step into leadership roles. At the same time, we recognize the cultural ripple effect of representation: when more female heroes appear on screen, women and girls everywhere see new possibilities reflected back at them. These stories don’t just entertain—they inspire, empower, and reshape global culture.

We are equally committed to fostering a cycle of women paying it forward—where seasoned professionals and investors uplift the next generation. For our global partners, international female investors also benefit from Canada’s favorable currency exchange rates and robust government-backed industry incentives, making collaboration both empowering and strategically advantageous.

Our mission is to put equity into action, one story, one production, and one leader at a time.
