“When we first decided to make this movie, we were sitting around Nathan's kitchen table talking about how we would raise funds for it…”
“The film’s release is a long-time coming for Horch and the rest of the film’s cast and crew…”
““I don’t think we would have ever thought we would see this as a full-length feature film in a Cineplex in Medicine Hat…”

behind the scenes
Stunning sunsets provide lighting more beautiful than we can ever have hoped for.
We are so grateful that we get to pour our hearts into telling a meaningful story while working with a crew that lifts each other's spirits. It's these moments that make the hard ones easier, where we can come together and laugh it off.
Our fine director, Aleisha, is shaping the performance with one of the actors. We never stop until the character comes to life on the screen.
This guy right here (Daniel Horch) speaks from his heart through that lens. His eye for discovering the beauty of each moment and capturing the truth enriches the story in ways we never could have planned for.
Actors Ed Ogum and Susan Ruth remain wrapped in blankets to keep warm while the crew begins to prepare for the next setup. Much of filming for the actors can be a hurry up and wait game; one that they can feel like they're losing when it's -20°C. Keeping a good attitude is key!
Sneak peak of the shoot inside the old shed. The scene we shot in here was heart pounding! It was so intense our DP crumpled to his knees to catch his breath. We can't wait for you all to see it!!
Our set this weekend. What emotion does this old shed evoke for you?
...the true story LIVES is in the moments between and underneath the script...
Throwback Thursday to our Production Planning Retreat.
