The web series industry is an award-winning, internationally recognized and entrepreneurial subsector of the Canadian film, television and digital media production sector. The growing cohesion of the sub-sector into a recognized industry was reinforced in 2013 with the establishment of a representative organization in the Independent Web Series Creators of Canada (IWCC-CIWC). The IWCC-CIWC recognized that in order to better support and advocate for its members' needs, it would require current and credible information about the size, shape and activities of active independent web series creators. This report is restricted to the Province of Ontario, although the IWCC-CIWC is a national organization. Therefore, a final objective is to serve as a basis for expanding this Ontario-based profile into a Canada-wide industry profile. At the most basic level, a web series can be defined as episodic entertainment delivered via online distribution platforms. "Independent" in this case refers to creators who are not affiliated with, for example, a commissioning company, agency or broadcaster.
