Accent Aigu Entertainment creates cost-effective scripted television and franchisable films.

Founded by writer, director and producer Jacob Tierney and Brendan Brady, the company leverages their extensive experience in the Canadian television and feature film industry to deliver content with broad appeal across the U.S., Canada and International markets.

Prior to starting AAE, Brendan and Jacob worked together for four years on over forty episodes of the hit television series LETTERKENNY and its spinoff show, SHORESY. Through harsh winter nights and long summer days, they realized they had complementary abilities and a shared sense of creative and professional ethos, making Accent Aigu Entertainment a natural next step. 

  • Jacob Tierney is one of Canada’s premiere film and television makers, having co-developed, written and directed every episode of the acclaimed Crave/ Hulu television series LETTERKENNY and spinoff show SHORESY, winning 9 Canadian Screen Awards in the process. Before his success as a showrunner in television, Jacob wrote and directed four feature films, including TWIST, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, THE TROTSKY, starring Jay Burachel, winner of the Genie for Best Original Screenplay, and the cult hit GOOD NEIGHBOURS starring Baruchel, Emily Hampshire and Scott Speedman. Most recently, Jacob executive produced the Riley Keough/ Gina Gammell directed feature film WAR PONY (Cannes ‘23), which won the prestigious Caméra d’Or for Best First Feature. He is also an executive producer on THE TRAITORS Canada, airing on CTV in October 2023.
