FEATURES
The Hamilton School of Media Arts classroom was a location for the feature films, East End, and Three Wolves. As well as employment opportunity for past co-op students. Our studio space offered a voice-over location for the upcoming film Kylgor in the Grisly Abyss.
DOCUMENTARY
In 2021, HFF was active in assisting Hamilton LOFT with the production, and presentation, of their debut short "Why Didn't I Leave?"
This project is a short documentary challenging the stigma behind that very question - one which places blame on victims of abuse, rather than holding perpetrators accountable. Urbanicity Article
TV, WEB, MUSIC VIDEO AND NEW MEDIA
HFF was also a contributor to the new 7-episode TV series "Wild Child." (pictured) Broadcast now on YesTV, streaming in the US on DCMP, and streaming now on Bell FIBETV, Channel 1, or the FibeTV app. Stream here or see theme in the theatre here. We also contributed some location support to the series BIKE by Terrance Odette. Our location served as a set for musicians Andre Bisson, and Alfie Smith and employed some of our Co-Op students.
COMMUNITY
The film school has opened the door for many co-op students in Hamilton and will continue to do so. If you are interested in a co-op placement, contact your co-op teacher and have them reach out to us.
