20th Annual Report on Independent Production
Canadian indie prodcos and what they did in '07
by: May 12, 2008 Print

The following is an alphabetical list of Canadian independent production companies and the feature film and television projects they produced in 2007.
Projects in development - some of which went into production over the year ­- are also listed. Information was provided by the companies themselves in response to a Playback questionnaire.
Playback asked companies to submit information pertaining to only those projects in which they participated as a financial partner, and requested that, in the case of coproductions, companies report spending based on their portion of the budget. We stipulated that dollar figures reflect only spending attributed to the calendar year 2007.
Production companies were also asked to separately indicate the amount of service work they completed.
In some cases where companies chose not to respond, Playback estimated production volumes. There were occasions, however, when we could not do an estimate because of a lack of data. Some of these companies - which have been known to represent significant production volume, and which may have been mainly in development mode in 2007 - are omitted from the list.
