North Film Co - A one-stop production house
North Film Co. specializes in efficiently producing consistent, high quality video content for all forms of storytelling. Our main focus is developing original Feature Films, of which North Film Co. has completed well over 20 in the last 3 years alone!
What sets North Film Co. apart from the competition is our level of efficiency. The ownership of all of our equipment paired with our full-time, in-house staff reduces a considerable amount of waste that goes into a project. When pre-production begins, we no longer have the need to hire someone to manage the various roles behind the scenes. There is also no need for equipment pick-ups, rentals, drop-offs, vehicle rentals, the list goes on! Our custom-built trucks are tailored to allow fast load ins / outs instead of rental trucks that aren’t designed for this business. All of our resources are customized to our specific needs, including our skilled in house staff that works with the same crew and equipment all year round.
OUR ROOTS
North Film Co. was originally founded in 2001 as “Northern Output” by CEO Russ De Jong and steadily started
growing as a one-stop-shop for video productions. In 2015 the name “North Film Co.” was taken on and a strong team
of talented people now make up North Film Co. backed with a wealth of resources second to none in Canada.
North Film Co. helped to forge over 90 feature films & television shows in over 15 countries while
establishing a deep history of success. Our shooting has spanned from the skyscrapers of Toronto to
the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. We endured the extreme conditions of Northern Ontario in -40C (-104F)
on a frozen lake to +53C (127.4F) in the sweltering heat of the New Mexico desert.
MESSAGE FROM CEO
North Film Co. was created out of my desire to create a fun,
safe and efficient place to make high-quality videos. Using my extensive on-set experience paired with my long history in post production and producing I started to model a business with
an "All in One" approach that would stand out in the market.
From the ground up, North Film Co. breaks the mold of most traditional productions that rely heavily on temporary workers, detached departments and excessive rentals. By owning ALL
of the equipment required for a production, paired with in-house staff, productions become almost instantly more efficient and
fun to execute. The cost savings alone from eliminating the need for co-ordinating rentals, pick up's, prep and return are massive! The results of in-house teams are a strong short-hand with expertise on our equipment as they have unlimited access
and training with our specific setups.
Having a project lead by someone who thoroughly understands and has worked in ALL aspects of production resolves the issue
of un-informed communication; It also allows for an efficient
and informed crew workflow. At North Film Co. the team is often responsible for roles in pre-production, shooting and post,
which uniquely gives our crew a vast knowledge-base.
I work beside our team start to finish through the full process
and am a big believer in leading from within and by example.
