Liam Cripps

Whether writing, researching, casting, or conceptualizing new projects, Liam is actively involved in all aspects of creative development. He has written and directed a number of demos and sizzle reels and is the co-creator of Food Network Canada's "World's Weirdest Restaurants". His job requires an astute understanding of the factual television landscape, a task he takes very seriously when developing new ideas (like the hot new format "Alaska Swamp Wars Canada").
