Nina and Susie are also actively developing their multi-platform series “Cupid’s Café” a participatory 48 x 2 minute live action dramedy series about love and relationships that is part of an innovative interactive multi-platform project called “Create A Date” (the Winner of Round One in The Great Canadian Video Game Competition).
Nina was the Producer, Director and Writer of The Idealist - James Beveridge, Film Guru, 2006 Worldfest-Houston Remi Award winner “World Peace & Understanding”, which premiered on TVO in May 2006.

In 2003 Nina Beveridge produced a 12-minute High Definition film for Olympic Spirit Toronto. The Calling is comprised of nearly 100 years of rarely seen Official Olympic Footage and features a 10.1 surround sound mix with an original orchestral score and complex sound design. (see Awards)
