Testimonials
I think what's special about working here in Edmonton is Northern Gateway has provided a team of people who are just really interested in pushing the tech and innovation side of film and that's such a benefit for all the filmmakers around here where we can put our dreams into reality coming here.
You ask a question and they have an answer. They don't have to go search for something. And you can lean on them to really support you throughout the whole project.
They created a very safe, well-equipped environment that you're free to exercise your creative muscles a little bit because they have the support staff, they have the support materials.
One of the benefits of working with Northern Gateway Studios is how much it elevates our work in the eyes of our clients.
Northern Gateway has been just unreal. We never would have even dreamed a project like this without them saying, Hey, what about this? I talk about working with amazing collaborators and using their ideas to further a project. That's exactly what happened here.
NGF has the most VProd (Virtual Production) expertise and experience of anyone in the Alberta market. They have firsthand experience with every single step of Vprod production, from design, to capture, to postproduction.
