The influential Canadian producer and CEO of OUTtv has been honoured with a Doctor of Fine Arts (honoris causa) from Capilano University's School of Motion Picture Arts.
Shavick has produced over 500 hours of television in Canada and the US with series and films commissioned by ABC Family Channel, NBC/PAX, Showtime and HBO. Since moving his production company to Vancouver in the 1990s, he has mentored and employed a multitude of young producers – many of whom now form the backbone of film and TV production in Western Canada.
