Once Upon a Time in Toronto - press release
OMNI Television (Rogers Media) is pleased to announce its latest contribution to Canadian broadcast history: the world television premiere of Once Upon a Time in Toronto, a 20-part Mandarin-language drama series and first-ever mutually supported television production between Canadian and Chinese companies.

Once Upon a Time in Toronto follows the intertwining lives of a diverse group of people from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds as they are forced to deal with their emotions, and each other, following a tragic car accident. The characters portrayed in Once Upon a Time in Toronto span generation and tradition as do the actors themselves; fundamental to the collaboration between Toronto-based Goldspin and China's Western Movie Group was that cast and crew be drawn from both partner-countries.
