Canadian Film and TV Vets Launch Precious Metal Prods

EXCLUSIVE: Canadian producer Christopher Giroux and actress-producer Ann Pirvu have lifted the lid on their recently launched joint company Precious Metal Productions and unveiled details of its first TV feature.

The new company, which focuses on television movies and feature films with its activities spanning original content creation and full-service production, has recently wrapped production on TV movie romance Bee My Love.

Pirvu stars as a private chef competing for her dream job with a celebrity restaurateur, who finds inspiration in her mother’s recipes, the sweetness of honey, and a struggling beekeeper who teaches her to believe that life, and love, are sweetest when shared. Precious Metal Productions have released a first image for the film (see below).

Pirvu is joined in the cast by Robin Dunne, known for his recurring role in the Ainsley McGregor Mysteries series as well as Emily Alatalo (Crossroad Springs), Romaine Waite (Jingle All The Way), Neil Whitely (When Hope Calls), and Brigitte Kingsley (The Art of Christmas).

Film and TV production veteran Giroux already has 50 producer credits to his name. He was previously the SVP of Production at Vortex Media, where he oversaw the production of films like Anything For Jackson, A ‘90s Christmas and The End of Sex.

Giroux has received two Canadian Screen Award nominations for his work on Christmas Island and Take Me Back for Christmas, while he recently directed Uphill for Christmas, which is also currently in post-production, starring Vanessa Lengies (Glee) and Marcus Rosner (Sullivan’s Crossing).

“Film and TV production is entering an interesting era. The enthusiasm for content has never been higher – we strive to bridge the gap between the screen and the people watching it,” he said.

“Our productions target a multilevel approach, with a mix of broadcast, social media interaction, live streaming, fan engagement, theatrical screenings, at home events, and more. We want audiences not just watching movies but experiencing them.”

Romanian-born actress Pirvu also brings an established and diverse body of work, both behind and in front of the camera.

As an actress, she is best known for her roles as Nicole on the CW’s Reign and Zoe in the award-winning series Poly Is the New Monogamy, for which she received a 2025 Canadian Screen Award nomination, while her film roles include Learning to Love Again, Little Girl In The Window and The Heiress & The Handyman.

“We’re hyper-focused on craft and precision. Our projects are thoughtfully shaped, emotionally resonant, and driven by a commitment to elevated storytelling that creates lasting, meaningful connections with people,” said Pirvu.

Bee My Love is produced alongside partners Kingsley and Andrew Cymek of Good Soldier Films (A NovelChristmas). The film is represented by Defiant Empire Distribution, which holds world distribution rights.
