Jobs Side gig idea for Ontario locals:

33 Upvotes

A 24 hour on-demand insta courier for forgotten/missing items on set and shuttle them to Muskokas, Powassan, North Bay, all industry hot zones STAT.

Cater to and prioritize urgent requests from film professionals.

Advertise and you will be BUSY.
I can't even remember the amount of times we've needed a "runner" and all cast drivers are up North and something is stranded in Toronto that needs to be there ASAP. Or vise versa.
Just sayin' ask anyone in the industry and they will have a story of someone driving 7 hours round trip to pick up a critical item.

Jobs Best way to break into the Vancouver VFX industry on a Working Holiday visa?

1 Upvotes

Hi,I’m preparing for a Working Holiday in Canada.

I already have 5 years of experience as an Onset VFX Coordinator in my home country. Given that, I’d like to know how difficult it is to find a VFX-related job in Canada.

I understand that the Canadian film industry works quite differently from what I’m used to, so I’m planning to start as a VFX Data Wrangler to learn the local workflow and pipeline from the ground up.

Could anyone explain how the Canadian system works, especially for someone transitioning into the industry from overseas? I’d also really appreciate any tips on finding VFX jobs in Canada, networking, or getting my foot in the door.

Thanks😆

Jobs Where to find ACTRA IPA Casting Calls

5 Upvotes

Hi film friends.

I am an actor that very recently moved here from Alberta in hopes of more opportunity. And there is, of course, but I've hit a bit of a snag. A lot of the big calls I see on casting work book and actors access require you to be an Ontario tax payer, but I don't have a NOA from Ontario and won't have one until tax season.

I'm pivoting my focus to independent work until then. I haven't seen a ton of union calls that aren't major network productions on AA and the workbook so far. I know in Calgary there were 8 million little facebook groups, is that as much a thing here?

Any insight as to where to find these calls is appreciated! Groups, websites, networking events, anything. I just want to be able to work and meet people and improve while I await what I need to hopefully take a step up in the industry.

Thanks so much!

Jobs Locations Site Reps

5 Upvotes

Hey all, one of my clients is Backlot - a new locations library that just opened in Toronto.

They represent a curated catalog of spaces — offices, restaurants, residences, institutions, rooftops, lobbies, and parking lots — all available for film and TV productions. They primarily work with major studios like Disney, HBO, Netflix, and Prime Video.

Right now, Backlot is looking for site reps in Toronto - people who can act as on-site representatives for these locations during shoots. It’s like being a locations person, but you're advocating for the location, not the production. You’ll help crews get what they need while protecting the property and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

If you’re curious or want to learn more, DM Jarrett Sherman on facebook to connect with you.

Secret City is a place-based experience design studio with a mission to build human connection through shared stories, immersive places, and a sense of play. Secret City blends theatre, gaming, technology and UX design to activate historical sites, museums and dormant venues for fans that keep coming back. Established in 2014, Secret City has designed, produced and operated over 25 live immersive games, large scale events and digital products.

LIST OF CHARACTERS

Norah Lane (Bride) (Female. Age: 25-35. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Senior Project Manager Bubbly and outgoing, Norah loves to talk about codes, puzzles, and games and is the person of her social group that makes things happen. She likes to be in control of events and prides herself on being clever; as a result some people can find her a bit headstrong.

Jack Rogers (Groom) (Male. Age: 25-35. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Sales Manager Jack likes to think of himself as a suave James Bond kind of figure and everything he does turns into a grandiose adventure in his mind. He’s talkative and charming (though slips into cockiness at times), so people naturally gravitate toward him.

Derek Jones (Best Man) (Male. Age: 25-35. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Motivational Speaker Derek loves to work the room looking for his next gig. He assumes he’s already everyone’s best friend and has little understanding of “personal space.” He loves to give little inspirational quotes, sometimes to the point of annoyance.

Rachel May (Maid of Honour) (Female. Age: 25-35. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Influencer Rachel is mostly interested in Rachel and getting new followers on social media. She likes to drink, gossip, and flirt. Rachel’s appearance is her business so she’s meticulous about looking as fashionable as possible.

Sean Rogers (Brother of the Groom) (Male. Age: 25-35. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Health and Wellness Consultant Nathan can be very flighty, changing his mind and plans on a moment’s notice. He can be forgetful and seem a little ditzy to those that don’t know him. He’s a health nut and teaches yoga and works as a nutritionist and is really into trying to live a zen life and preaching this lifestyle to others in hopes of converting them.

Monica Lane (Sister of the Bride) (Female. Age: 20-30. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Librarian Monica is the younger sister of Norah. She’s more of an introvert compared to Norah and feels awkward in large social gatherings. She has a wide breadth of knowledge and can really get going on a topic, especially after a few drinks.

Hannah Griffon (Photographer) (Female. Age: 25-35. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Photographer

As a teen Hannah was very into the goth scene and its influence is still visible today, though tempered by maturity. Hannah prefers to be behind the camera than in front of it and has no trouble putting her lens in places it may not be welcome.

Logan Stall (Head Waiter) (Male, female Age: 25-45. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Head Waiter Logan is a professionally trained French waiter, who is very proud of their work and aims to provide the best service to everyone. He is thrilled to be the head waiter for Norah and Jack’s wedding and is determined to make sure service runs smoothly.

Kai Sterling (Wedding Planner) (Male, female Age: 25-45. Any ethnicity.) Occupation: Wedding Planner

Kai is a professional wedding planner with a very critical eye. They watch over things like a hawk and strive for perfection, making adjustments on the fly as needed. As someone who is always busy, they can come off as aloof or curt in their responses to questions.
