BF Profile
Founded by producer/director Frederic Bohbot in 2002, BUNBURY FILMS is a Montreal-based film production and distribution company, which produces thought provoking documentary and high quality non-fiction films in both in English and French for the international television market.
While the company primarily produces independent documentary films that pushes the boundaries of social, environmental, historical, religious and popular culture landscapes with a balanced yet hard nosed approach to subject matter, BUNBURY FILMS is also developing and producing feature fiction films for the theatre and television and Web series.
Films
On the back of the critical success of ONCE A NAZI... / NAZI UN JOUR (SRC - 2006), BUNBURY FILMS produced three new documentary films for leading Canadian broadcasters: One for CHUM Television (SPACE - 2007) BIGFOOT'S REFLECTION - directed by Evan Beloff about Bigfoot hunter's obsession of the creature; One for (SRC - 2008) QUITTER LE BERCAIL / LEAVING THE FOLD - directed by Eric Scott, about young Hasidic Jews who decide to turn their backs on the insular fundamentalist world into which they were born; and one for (CBC - 2010) BURNING WATER - directed by Cameron Esler and Tadzio Richards, about a small town in Alberta where the farmers lives are being disrupted by the oil and gas industry.
Productions
BUNBURY FILMS is currently in post-production on no less than three documentaries to be released in 2010: LAND OF DESTINY - about blue-collar life and why people work - directed by Brett Story; WORK IN PROGRESS - an epic film about work, life and the expectations that we bring to everything we do - directed by Bill Stone; and UNDERDOG PLAZA - a tale of sacrifice and struggle in the boxing world - directed by Evan Beloff.
« At a glance none of our releases for 2010 appear to have anything in common, but surprisingly and by no specific intention they are all about work in one way or another, says Bunbury Films founder Frederic Bohbot. It must be part of the current zeitgeist, we are looking inward at what defines us or how we define ourselves.»
As of 2010 BUNBURY FILMS expanded it's roster of film productions to include two new feature films: CABANE ΐ SUCRE and POLICE FORCE; and two new TV / Web Series: THE AGE OF PERSUASION and JOURNEY TO MARS 3D, which are all scheduled for release in 2011.
