Oh Canada! YouTube’s nine-project creator programming slate takes it north of the border.

YouTube didn't just use the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) to premiere new projects helmed by creators. It also announced a fresh slate of original programs that will open up new opportunities for Canadian creators (and one subway-riding Egyptian-American). The programming announcements came during the YouTube Features marketing event, which was held adjacent to TIFF. The host of YouTube Features was the aforementioned Egyptian-American, Kareem Rahma, who is bringing his hit series Subway Takes north of the border. In 2027, Subway Takes Toronto will hit YouTube, with "iconic Canadian guests" lined up. Will more Emmy nominations follow? Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.
