Don't Get Killed in Alaska |
It’s always exciting to report on upcoming Canadian
productions, especially when projects offer new work by filmmakers I’ve come to
enjoy. Don’t Get Killed in Alaska is the new film by firstlovefilms, the
production company that brought you Dear Scavengers,
which got a pretty good review here on Cinemablographer
when it played at TIFF. Don’t Get Killed
in Alaska is the first feature from firstlovefilms and it “explores a young women’s struggle to forge her own destiny in
spite of what her family and the world expects of her.” The film is produced by
Laura Perlmutter and Andrew Nicholas McCann Smith, co-founders of
firstlovefilms, and is directed by Bill Taylor (debut). The film started
filming in Picton and Toronto on Oct. 24. (The director of photography is Ben
Lichty, who shot Ingrid Veninger’s i’m a
good person/i’m a bad person). Don’t
Get Killed in Alaska is funded by the Canada and Ontario Arts Council
