The movie business has seen its biggest success when it has taken risks on ideas that βwouldnβt workβ according to the execs.
And yet, after over 100 years, avoiding risk is still the default position.
Explain that logic to meβ¦

Casting and watching auditions is βquietlyβ 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 dmβs 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.
Itβs no small task to bring any movie to life.

π¬ Ready to get your first briefing on how we're structuring The Quiet Canadians for investor success?
Recruitment begins here: insiderintel.quietcanadiansmovie.com
5/5
Real films make real money when producers understand the business behind the art.
The difference between success and failure isn't the movieβit's the system behind it.
4/5
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.
