I don’t know if I have ever been so happy with a Vancouver Canucks signing than I am with Brock Boesser’s signing.

The first movie ever shown to a paying audience (in 1895) was basically a 50-second TikTok of workers leaving a factory.

True independent film:

1. Economy of means
2. Independent spirit
3. Uniqueness of vision

The voice matters.

The movie business has seen its biggest success when it has taken risks on ideas that β€œwouldn’t work” according to the execs.

And yet, after over 100 years, avoiding risk is still the default position.

Explain that logic to me…

Casting and watching auditions is β€œquietly” becoming one of my favourite pieces of the process of making The Quiet Canadians.

Thanks to Monika Dalman Casting & her team for all the great help, and to our Producers for judiciously going through all the auditions.

Talent really shines!

Thank you everyone for all the dm’s and text messages and emails offering encouragement for The Quiet Canadians.

In this show business we look for champions as much as real partners, and we are finding that in spades.

It’s no small task to bring any movie to life.

Real films make real money when producers understand the business behind the art.

The difference between success and failure isn't the movieβ€”it's the system behind it.

The key? Having a clear distribution strategy BEFORE you ask for money.

At The Quiet Canadians, we're not just telling an Canadian spy thriller story.

We're building an investment structure that protects our partners through every revenue window.
