More about the newly added productions:

THE ABANDONS – Washington Territory – 1854 – The matriarchs of two very different families — one of wealth and privilege bound by blood, the other a found family of orphans and outcasts bound by love and necessity — find their fates linked by two crimes, an awful secret, a star-crossed love, and a piece of land with silver underneath. The collision echoes the American struggle of the haves and have-nots, in a place just beyond the reach of justice. This dramatic western series was shot in Seebe and Mînî Thnî, Alberta, both newly added filming locations on the website.

WAYWARD – Nothing is what it seems in Tall Pines. After an escape attempt from an academy for “troubled teens”, two students join forces with a newly local police officer, unearthing the town’s dark and deeply rooted secrets. This captivating thriller was shot in Dundas, Millbrook, Milton, Guelph, Ashburn and Mississauga, Ontario.

MY SECRET SANTA – A vivacious single mom in need of a job decides to disguise herself as a man in order to get hired as the seasonal Santa at a luxury ski resort. But when she starts to fall in love with the hotel manager, complications develop that could ruin everything. My Secret Santa was shot in Sun Peaks and Kamloops, British Columbia.

A MERRY LITTLE EX-MAS – A recently divorced woman attempts to have one last Christmas with her family before selling the house and moving, but complications arise when her ex-husband brings his amazing new girlfriend into the holiday mix. This holiday rom-com was filmed in Hillsburgh, Glen Williams and Unionville, Ontario.

THE WRONG PARIS – A young woman joins a dating show thinking it’s in Paris, France, but it’s actually in Paris, Texas. She plots a way to get eliminated until her unexpected feelings for the bachelor complicate her plans. The Wrong Paris was filmed in Agassiz and North Vancouver, British Columbia.

FRANKENSTEIN – Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation. This highly awaited film was shot in North Bay and Toronto, Ontario.
