MUSTANG_OUR FOCUS
DOCUMENTARIES
CENTERED ON THE HUMAN BEING
Documentary is the ultimate encounter, wavering between the predictable and the unpredictable. We offer films and series that come to life around the major themes of society and encounters on a human scale. Identity, art, music and the environment are some of the areas of reflection we favour, through portraits, investigations and discoveries.
FICTION
WITH THE HEART
A foray into the wonderful world of fiction via the youth series ON S’EXPOSE , which you will soon be able to watch, opens MUSTANG’s blinders for other wonderful adventures based on stories full of meaning, beauty, humour and even…terror!
MAGAZINE
BEYOND ENTERTAINMENT
Over the years, Swan Productions has produced a variety of original magazine programs, covering areas as varied as decoration, psychology for children and adults, aboriginal community issues, paranormal phenomena, inventions, cooking, nutrition and health. MUSTANG is carrying on with those subjects and offers a variety of productions that are just as substantial and decidedly entertaining to enjoy without moderation!
MUSTANG_ABOUT US
Born out of the desire to move forward, to surpass oneself and to open up to new forms of distribution, MUSTANG’s mission is to produce content that reflects human realities and thoughts. Whether it is through documentary films, genre series, service magazines or youth programs, we always bet on the quality of our proposals.
Open to the world, MUSTANG offers projects on various platforms, both in Québec and across Canada, that correspond to the realities of the market. Always on the lookout for current issues, our team promotes a personalized approach to meet the needs of our clients while suggesting compelling topics and characters that are sometimes larger than life!
MUSTANG is an eco-responsible production company that promotes transparency in all stages of production. At MUSTANG, we care about the talent of our creators and all the actors who contribute to the successful completion of a project.
OUR VALUES
We are guided by creativity, quality, reliability, honesty and complicity as the most important guidelines at every step in the making of our productions.
OUR VISION
Mustang wants to protect its creators while telling the right story, rich in emotions.
OUR MISSION
Mustang is aiming at producing diverse formats, each well adapted to our industry's needs. We want to break stereotypes, revisit traditional templates to conform to current market realities and our three essential markers : authentic, accessible and entertaining content. Our team focuses on a personalized approach to meet the needs of our partners.
OUR GOALS
To create quality projects for the national and international markets.
To develop series with strong editorial guidelines.
To encourage authors’ points of view and visions that stand out from the crowd.
2020
2020 signals an important year for MUSTANG, with the acquisition of the Swan productions catalogue.
2020 also symbolizes a year of development and production of several projects that will finally come out of the “box”. These include ON S'EXPOSE (TFO) with SLALOM productions, 50 FAÇONS DE TUER SA MÈRE, an adventure project for UnisTV, and several coproductions under development that we will soon be able to announce. Also, as associate producer and co-writer, we will begin production of the feature-length documentary AU BOUTE DU RIEN PANTOUTE.
MUSTANG_COPRODUCTION
Joining our forces to produce relevant, human, interesting and entertaining content is the DNA of MUSTANG. To do so, coproducing reflects a more than desirable modus operandi for the completion of multiple projects. People in video production companies sharing the same vision make content creation viable.
Isn’t this the ultimate goal?

In Quebec, as in other parts of the world, there are fears about the impact of mass immigration on social cohesion, on the French language and on common values such as equality between women and men, and the separation of church and state. What should be transmitted from the Québec identity to newcomers? Bernard Derome continues to reflect on this highly topical subject.
Les Aigles is a reality documentary series that takes a unique and exciting look at the world of young men by following the lives of five 17-year-old football players who play for Les Aigles de l’Assomption. Watching them juggle their family, social, school, love and sports realities throughout their football season, the series allows viewers to discover the depth and complexity of the lives of these teenagers and who are in their last year of high school.
Does Québec’s identity, made up of its distinct history, language and culture, still mean something? Cultural diversity and globalization are challenging our previous assumptions and forcing us to redefine ourselves. Have our resistance and our demands locked us into shackles that have become too restrictive? This documentary, hosted by Bernard Derome, looks at Québec’s identity and its values.
Every week, Dre Nadia Gagnier, a psychologist, visits a family where children aged 2 to 12 have problematic behaviours. Conflicts are simple and common, but irritating for the parents who deal with them. There is no promise of a miracle or instant solution, but help for parents to make daily life more enjoyable.
R-Force is a program designed to help young people who want to achieve their goals. In a condensed version! Aboard their orange limo, the hosts travel across Québec to help young people push themselves, take charge of their lives or simply solve a small problem in their daily lives. R-Force aims to stimulate young people and support them, so they can discover their own strength and make their projects a reality.
