Commercial Drive Productions
We are an independent Canadian production company located in the heart of East Vancouver’s Commercial Drive neighborhood; a neighborhood that celebrates a cultural diversity we reflect in our films.
Our work, whether in fiction or in documentaries, is character driven and closely perceived. We explore today’s world for an audience critical of easy answers.
Our producers have experience in dramatic fiction (long and short), documentaries and experimental film. Telefilm Canada, The National Film Board of Canada, BC Film, the BC Arts Council (among others) have supported our work, which has been presented nationally and internationally, in festivals and through broadcast.
We genuinely enjoy collaborating with others to conceive, research, write and produce new work.
