The Business is a sitcom which aired on The Movie Network in Canada and IFC in the United States.
The show centres on Vic Morgan (Rob Deleeuw), an adult film director of a low-budget softcore pornographic series similar to Girls Gone Wild. He attempts to become a legitimate film maker after having converted to Judaism to be successful in the entertainment industry. Season one depicts the production of his first independent film and the difficulties along the way with an undisciplined production staff, poorly skilled actors, and an eccentric Japanese investor. Season two follows the company following the success of its first film as they search for a follow-up project.
The series is filmed and produced in Montreal by Philms Pictures, and has a predominantly Canadian cast.
