Arc Productions is a Canadian animation and visual effects studio based in Toronto, Ontario. It was owned by a Canadian investor group, with former owner Starz Inc. as a minority stakeholder. As of 2016, Arc serves as a subsidiary of Jam Filled Entertainment, a division of Boat Rocker Media. Since 2016 it has been referred to as Jam Filled Toronto.

History

In 2006, U.S. telecom company IDT Corp. purchased the studio from the founders of DKP Studios. IDT had already acquired in 2003 controlling interest of Film Roman and Anchor Bay Entertainment Group.

On May 26, 2006, Starz Media's parent company Liberty Media bought IDT Entertainment from IDT, including Anchor Bay Entertainment and Film Roman. Under its new management in 2007, the studio began a "Starz Shortz" program which has produced Bundle of Joy, Enter the Sandbox, Ormie and Lovebirds. In 2007, Starz Animation took over animating Shane Acker's feature 9 from Attitude Studio, Luxembourg. In 2010, the studio opened a major VFX wing to create all the effects for the new Starz Channel/Graham King Productions miniseries, Camelot, Alcon Entertainment's Dolphin Tale, and producer Avi Arad's family feature, Robosapien: Rebooted.

In April 2011, the Starz Animation was sold to a Canadian consortium, and renamed itself to Arc Productions. Under the new owner, the studio was planning to do more proprietary production.

On August 1, 2016, Arc Productions announced that they were closing down the studio because they were filing for bankruptcy and locked out over 500 employees after telling them there was a payroll glitch and no one had been paid. On August 10, 2016, following Arc's closure, Jam Filled Entertainment has entered an agreement to acquire Arc Productions' assets in which they call "substantially all of the business". Jam Filled Entertainment also acquired 248 of Arc's former employees. Later on August 22, 2016, Arc Productions (which was re-branded to Jam Filled Productions in Toronto) ^{[citation needed]}) reopened and reentered business.
