by Del Mehes and Michael Dorland

The following is a list of films in production (actually before the cameras) and In negotiation In Canada. Needless to say, the films which are still in the project stage are subject to changes. A third category, In Pre­

,reduction, will be used to indicate films which are in active pre-production, having set a date for the beginning of principal photography and being engaged in casting and crewing. Films are listed by the name of the company which initiated the project, or with which the project is popularly associated. This is not necessarily the name of the production company. Where the two companies are different, the name of the production company, if known, is also given. In instances where a producer has asked us not to list a project, or to withhold certain credits due to ongoing negotiations, we have respected his request
