CoPilot Productions: production servicing foreign projects in Canada from coast (Atlantic) to coast (Pacific) to coast (Arctic).
"Canada’s low dollar and amazing production value has continued to help keep us busy in these uncertain inflationary times.
Here is a quick look at what we have been up to so far since our last spotlight update so far this year:
- A TVC / photoshoot combo for the Environment and Climate Change Canada government ministry
- A TVC / photoshoot combo for Barilla pasta with the composer of the 'White Lotus' tv series.
- One awesome four-day photoshoot for a fashion client highlighting Montreal’s European vibe.
- One full segment of the 'Chrysalides' feature documentary filmed in the Lofoten, Senja and Tromso islands of Northern Norway.
And much more work that, unfortunately, our NDAs prevent us to share until their respective publications."

"At CoPilot Productions, we provide production servicing for projects in Canada from coast (Atlantic) to coast (Pacific) to coast (Arctic).
Additionally, Jim can also work as a project fixer / producer for project filming in foreign landscapes.
Canada’s low dollar and amazing production value has continued to help keep us busy in these uncertain inflationary times.
Here is a quick look at what we have been up to so far since our last update in June:
Warner Media / CNN / Courageous Studios (USA): Our team line-produced a 6-7-minute advertorial for Destination Canada, in collaboration with CNN’s promotional studio, for Canada’s promotional material agency for the Federal ministry of Tourism.
VITAL Productions (Canada): in November, we are providing assistance for foreign filming in Europe for the 'Rioux' (2024) feature documentary (a Poland, Germany and UK coproduction) including obtaining filming and drone permitting at the Auschwitz-Birkenau holocaust memorial.
Also for VITAL, we have provided assistance for foreign filming in Socotra, Yemen, for the 'Chrysalides' (2025) feature documentary. This Spotlight includes some behind the scenes snapshots of this simply stunning and unique location."

Canada: CoPilot Productions
"We production serviced several US, UK and European based projects shooting in Canada this year; and we also produced a YouTube Originals and Google UK project, filming on British Columbia’s glaciers.
In collaboration with Silverback Studios from Bristol, we filmed on location across five days with 13 cameras and an FPV drone to follow the stunt action. This was part of a series called 'Climate Games', matching professional skier JT Holmes with YouTuber and science expert Physics Girl. The project was for the benefit of the COP climate conference and we are really proud of the outcome. Being able to shoot on the glaciers really showcases what this part of the country offers for foreign producers. Part of this work was also included in another, longer YouTube campaign called Dear Planet Earth.
We also production serviced the Canadian portion of an international photoshoot for Marriott Hotels. The strategy was to shoot Montreal for European looking locations, all while spending CAD dollars in lieu of filming in expensive European locations.
Another highlight was filming portions of a TV series for National Geographic on Great White Sharks in Atlantic waters."
