Verve Ventures has boarded Jerome Sable’s black comedy “Wolf of the North” for North American sales ahead of its bow at Frontières at TIFF: The Market.
90th Parallel Productions is thrilled to be bringing four very different films to the TIFF Market this year:
WHEN RAIN BECOMES FIRE — a timely, cinematic documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Jennifer Abbott (The Corporation; The Magnitude of All Things).
MIMIR — an unsettling folk-horror feature directed by Amelia Moses.
WOLF OF THE NORTH — a dark wilderness comedy about an inept wildlife filmmaker, the wolves he doesn’t understand, and the 10-year-old son who has secretly joined his expedition.
FROM THE WRECKAGE — an ambitious queer teen musical directed by Nicole Stamp & executive produced by Academy Award winner Sarah Polley.
We’re looking forward to meeting potential co-producing partners, financiers, distributors, sales agents and other allies who might help us bring these films to audiences.
If you’ll be at TIFF and one of these projects sounds like it belongs in your world, please reach out. We’d love to find a time to meet.
Exciting news for two of 90th Parallel Productions’ upcoming films. We are so lucky to be working with the brilliant Nicole Stamp and Sarah Polley on From the Wreckage, and veteran documentarian Jennifer Abbott on When Rain Becomes Fire. More to come.
We’re gonna make a movie! 90th Parallel’s first scripted feature film is shooting this winter. So exciting! Thanks to Telefilm Canada for this tremendous vote of confidence and support. Pat Thornton and Jerome Sable have written a hilarious script and we’re proud to be working with a killer team to bring it to life. Here’s to new challenges!
Some news! We are so excited to be embarking on this new adventure: a feature drama about a Canadian hero! Excited to be working with a wonderful team to bring Andre’s story to life.

Are you a documentary director interested in making science and nature films and working with the CBC?
90th Parallel Productions is looking for a Co-Director for an upcoming episode of The Nature of Things. The upcoming season of The Nature of Things will feature new hosts and brings with it the opportunity to expand and diversify the storytelling and perspectives of the show. We’re looking for someone with directing experience who can contribute their own unique vision but will benefit from the guidance of an experienced science and nature director.
This is a paid position where you will work closely with the production team and Director to learn how an episode of The Nature of Things is put together. This begins in prep, where you’ll have a chance to contribute to the creative planning for the film. You’ll then be on set for some of the shoots and participate in post during the edit. You’ll also be responsible for the digital content for the film, which will include 2-3 short videos cut from footage already shot. The commitment for this project is part-time and could be done alongside other work.
Interested candidates should apply with a CV and cover letter to javiera@90thparallel.ca by January 18th, 2023.
