Welcome to Carlton Films!
Carlton Films is a Canadian feature and documentary film distributor. The company was established in Quebec in November 2004 with the aim of handling the theatrical release of Lakefront (2004) and the television and DVD sales of Women Without Wings (2002) which was produced by our sister company Cinegraphe Productions Inc. In 2007 the company launched the Cinegraphe / News-Cast.Com comedy feature The Backup Man in eight cities across Canada (Empire, Guzzo, AMC cinemas) and in 2008 the Canada/Uruguay feature co-production 14 Days in Paradise starring Nicholas Campbell, Jeff Roop and Patricia Wolf in AMC and Empire theatres in the Toronto area.
The company acquires features and documentaries for distribution in Canada. Since the company is active in Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Carlton focuses most of its attention on Atlantic Canada and Quebec/Ontario using sub-distributors for Western Canada.
Carlton is handling North American sales of the new Welsh period drama, Small Country - Calon Gaeth , based on a novel by Siân James and directed by Ashley Way. The series will be available as a 110-minute TV movie or as a 4 x 52 minute TV series. This is a turn of the century story of love and abandonment with a brilliant ensemble cast in the Welsh and English language (English sub-titles).
Carlton is planning to release two new feature films in early 2011: Killing Ruth - the Snuff Dialogues starring Irena Huljak (Toronto), Dee Wallace (Los Angeles) and Kevin Jackson (New York), and My Best Friend's Deception written by the American Robert Fleet starring new Canadian talent Kristin Wallace, Virginia Leigh, Rene Defazio, Brad Carmichael and the American actor Thomas Daniel.
The company's recent acquisions include Fire Watch, a missing persons drama directed by Nicholas Kinsey and starring Kristin Wallace, Babak Motamed and Rose Ryan, Stray Dogs directed by Doug Sutherland and starring Brad Carmichael and Ivana Stojanovic, and the new pilot TV series Cottage in America (6 x 24 minute episodes) shooting in September and October 2010.
