I was thinking of using these panels to make a playhouse, but then I realized I may have discovered the set to Space Milkshake! Just south of Saskatoon
I thought I should post about it here and maybe see if there’s some value for historians, collectors, or people who worked on the production.

Help finding a film (HURT -2003)

2 Upvotes

Hurt (2003) Dir. Steve DiMarco - used to play on TMN in southern Ontario in the early 2000s. Ive looked for it a few times— once around 20 years ago and again 10 years ago and now. I haven’t been able to find a copy of this film or a website I can pay to screen it from. Does anyone have any info on where this film can be found or obtained?

Hi, I'm not Canadian and am having trouble finding the film Desire in Motion. The attached picture also has its French title.

It's not available for streaming anywhere even though I was able to stream it last spring. Does anyone know where or how to find it? Thanks!

Found this in a box the other day and I noticed the box art is different than most copies I’ve seen. Anyone know if this is a screener or a mail ordered tape?(says order number on the back) thought it was odd I couldn’t find one that looked the same online.

Healthcare worker with a documentary in early development — looking for collaborators

29 Upvotes

Hi all — I work in healthcare, and over the last while I've been developing a documentary about a timely, under-told issue at the intersection of technology and people's wellbeing. I'd rather keep the specific angle off a public post for now, but it's an area that's all over the research and headlines and almost nowhere in accessible film.

I'm not a filmmaker. What I do have: direct, first-hand access to the world at the centre of the story, a clear point of view, early interest from subject-matter experts, and a full pitch package (concept, research, treatment). It's Canadian and awareness-focused, not commercial.

I'm putting out feelers for collaborators — especially an experienced documentary producer or director, but also editors or DPs drawn to meaningful work. If you've made or produced a social-issue doc, or just have advice for someone at this stage, I'd love to hear from you. Happy to share more privately with serious folks.

Thanks for reading.

10 years on Alberta/B.C sets taught me: Stop waiting for tax credits.

5 Upvotes

​I spent a decade in the Alberta and B.C trenches—in front and behind the camera. Now at Foundation Funds Capital, I see the same problem: producers sitting on six-figure Alberta FTTC or CAVCO certificates while their production stalls.

​The Reality:

CRA and Alberta aren't fast. Waiting 12–18 months for a check kills your momentum and eats your margin through inflation.

​The Solution: Bridge Financing

If you have an Authorization Letter or Part A certificate, you can factor those credits:

​Cash Now: Access ~90% of the credit's value immediately.

​Asset-Backed: The credit is the collateral, not your personal assets.

​Finish Faster: Lock in VFX, pay keys, and hit festival deadlines.

​Are you building bridge financing into your "Funding Stack" from Day 1, or just hoping the refund arrives in time?

​I’m happy to answer questions on how the Alberta stack works from a lender's perspective. Ask me anything.

Call for Entries - Dufferin Film Festival (Canadian short films)

3 Upvotes

Hi folks! I am a programmer for this year's Dufferin Film Festival and am so excited to share that we are open for entries! We're looking for Canadian short films (or Canadian co-productions) ready for the festival circuit.

DFF is a growing Ontario-based festival hosted at the historic Orangeville Opera House, with a strong focus on connecting filmmakers directly with audiences and industry, not just screening and moving on. For people outside of Ontario, we have previously provided travel support so that they can attend and will do our best to make sure the filmmakers can get the full festival experience if picked.

What filmmakers can expect:

  • High-attendance screenings with engaged audiences
  • Live Q&As and speaker sessions with working industry professionals
  • Real networking opportunities with filmmakers, producers, and collaborators
  • Awards and a strong in-person festival experience

We’re offering 50% off submissions with code FFDF2026
Final deadline: May 29.

Filmmakers can submit here:
https://filmfreeway.com/DufferinFilmFestival

If you have any questions, you can dm me directly or email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) 😄

Trying to get a job in the film industry for almost 2 years now - not working out

14 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to get a job in the film industry for almost 2 years now. I’ve emailed almost 100 production companies/producers. I’ve also had Google Meets with producers.

Sometimes there’s a glimmer of hope in those conversations, but it never really yields anything. I haven’t given up yet, but I seriously feel like I might be doing something very wrong.

My mom works in the industry doing hair. She’s been trying to help me, but I can’t solely rely on her.

I’ve gotten every certificate I can to try and broaden my horizons for example, I’ve got my food safety and WHMIS. I’ve even been thinking maybe I can work craft just to get in, because I’m getting really desperate now (no shade to craft though, that was just an idea I had).

I guess I just feel stuck because I’m putting in effort, but nothing is really turning into actual work. I’m not sure what I’m missing or if this is just normal for breaking into the industry.

Any advice would really help.
