PM Productions Inc. is a Vancouver-based independent film and television production company founded by husband-and-wife creative team Paul Almeida and Makayla Moore. Drawing on their backgrounds in theatre, performance and storytelling, PM Productions develops character-driven projects that blend humour, heart and authentic human experiences.
PM Productions Inc. has announced that OUTtv has acquired The Dressing Room. The six-time Leo Award-nominated series was created by Vancouver theatre artists Paul Almeida and Makayla Moore and features six episodes in season one, starring Irene Karas Loeper (The L Word) and Jason Sakaki (The Audacity, Lucky Hank). The series will have its highly-anticipated international broadcast debut on June 10th, 2026 on OUTtv around the globe in the U.S, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Taiwan, Mexico, Argentina, and South Africa. The Dressing Room will also be available on OUTflix in the UK and Ireland.
The Dressing Room is a workplace comedy that follows a fictional touring musical called ‘Balloon Boy.’ We watch as the cast & crew try to keep the show alive every night with backstage meltdowns, romantic entanglements, and Broadway-sized ambitions; the series offers a hilarious and heartfelt look at the people who dedicate their lives to the stage. The series draws inspiration from real experiences within Canada’s theatre community and serves as a love letter to the performers, stage managers, musicians, technicians and creatives who keep the show going. The series stars Irene Karas Loeper (Spotlight on Christmas), Jason Sakaki (The Vince Staples Show), Jeffrey Michael Follis (Starwalker), and Alex Gullason (Schmigadoon!).
“We wanted to create a funny, character-driven series that offered a window into the hilarious and heartfelt world behind the curtain. More than anything, The Dressing Room became a love letter to our theatre community and the artists we’ve been fortunate to work alongside throughout our careers,” says co-creator Paul Almeida. “The world can feel pretty overwhelming these days, and we wanted The Dressing Room to be a fun place for audiences to land. It’s a dramatic, silly, glitter-covered world sometimes held together with crazy glue, but that’s part of the magic,” continues co-creator Makayla Moore.
