How does someone working in the video game industry end up on a film set? 🎮 🎬

For Nazzal Naseer, it started with Unreal Engine. He works on Epic Games’ education team, and through Mosquers Film Festival's Rising Leaders Fellowship he developed a previsualization workshop concept for indie studios. A placement through the program turned into a longer-term role with Northern Gateway Films on Legends, running through post-production this spring.

The 40th Edmonton International Film Festival wrapped this weekend! 🎬 Congratulations to the EIFF team on another year of bringing stories from Edmonton, Alberta, and around the world to local screens.

Opening night brought Cody Lightning's Smudge the Blades back to Edmonton, where it was filmed, fresh off its Best Canadian Discovery Award at TIFF. Closing night was the Canadian premiere of Funny Money: The Dane Cook Story from Edmonton's ScoreG Productions, produced by Adam Scorgie and Shane Fennessey and directed by Brett Harvey.

Thank you to every filmmaker, actor, and crew member who brought a story to the screen this year, and to EIFF for partnering with us on the first-ever Creative Screen Business Summit.

Thank you to Brimstone Pictures for opening up their set to 10 Greenlight Alberta trainees on their short film, Room 309! 🎬

Filming has wrapped on Room 309, a supernatural thriller set in the 1930s, shot at Fort Edmonton Park and starring Nathaniel Arcand. The trainees were part of the crew for the shoot, getting real on-set experience and mentorship from the Brimstone team.

The project was selected for investment through our Greenlight Alberta short film call, which helped support those paid trainee positions.

Congrats to the cast, crew, and trainees! We can't wait to see it after post-production.

🎬 THAT’S A WRAP ON ROOM 309 — AND WE HAVE A BIG REVEAL!

Room 309 has officially finished shooting, and we couldn’t be more excited about what we captured. The performances, the visuals, the atmosphere — what we got in camera is pure Hollywood-level filmmaking, made possible by an extraordinary team of film professionals and trainees right here in Edmonton.

And now we can finally announce our star: NATHANIEL ARCAND! 🌟

Known for FBI: Most Wanted, Heartland, Sinners, North of 60, My Life with the Walter Boys, Blackstone, and his appearance in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Nathaniel brings an incredible career and remarkable screen presence to Room 309. Working with him was an absolute pleasure, and we can’t wait for you to see his performance. Of course we realize this news was probably revealed a bit earlier by our cast and crew social media posts. 😁

This milestone belongs to so many people who helped make it happen:

👏 A huge thank you to Edmonton Screen and their entire staff for helping make this project possible. It was truly an honour to have the Greenlight AB trainees on this production, sharing their energy, dedication, and passion for filmmaking. It was a pleasure mentoring these people for careers in film during the entire shoot.

👏 Thank you to ACTRA and all the agents representing our cast for your support and collaboration in bringing together such an exceptional, professional ensemble. To our entire cast: thank you for bringing these characters to life. Your performances were all exemplary!

👏 To our amazing crew — your talent, care, and tireless work are in every frame. What we captured is a reflection of the incredible skills you brought to set. True film making professionals.

👏 Thank you to Fort Edmonton Park for being wonderful to work with at every level, from the booking department to the hotel staff. Your hospitality and support made a real difference throughout this production. Creating a supernatural thriller set in the 1930's isn't easy, but working will all of the amazing on-location buildings in Fort Edmonton sure helps.

Now, we move into post-production! Professional editing, colour grading, sound design, and all the finishing work that will bring everything together to build the tension, mood, and cinematic experience we’re so excited to share.

We’re proud, grateful, and beyond excited for what comes next. We can’t wait for everyone to experience Room 309 when post-production is complete. More to come soon on when that will be and many more photos too.
