Unveiling is at socially distanced special event 8pm, Wednesday, September 2, 2020- at the Royal Canadian Legion in Drumheller…
Drumheller, Alberta, Canada:
President of Starland Studios Matthew Todd Paproski announces “After months of intense design, editing photographs and text, and construction, Starland Studios is finally launching its new e-commerce site online. After several years of seeking the right people, we have found the location owners, service providers and suppliers to be our infrastructure based in Drumheller Valley and servicing the surrounding Badlands”.
“Timing actually could not be better. There is a backlog of films to be finished from when the pandemic shut the industry down and streamers have full wallets from binge viewers creating a huge demand for new content. As well, Canada is reopening allowing film production faster than the US and elsewhere as the pandemic unfolds, luring projects here. We just need to get more incentives from the provincial government, and we could boom like BC, Ontario and Manitoba.”
“Drumheller is one of the top filming locations in the province with hundreds of credits ranging from movies, TV shows, web series and commercials to corporate and music videos. Our main goal is to be the gateway and hub for the region providing producer, production management and services to visiting Canadian and international filmmakers. We will also continue producing and distributing our own content, including our Wildlife Wranglers and feature film projects.”
This innovative website was built with Brian and Nicole Yanish of local highly regarded web company MarketingHits. Brian says “We are excited that after several years of discussions with us, Starland Studios is providing a much-needed economic development resource for our region. We have utilized as many current internet tools as possible and integrated them into the website to make it more a marketing and revenue generating engine than a just a promotional platform”.
Starland’s Directory of service providers and suppliers includes: MarketingHits, Jon Sheppard Media, Prairie Sky Productions, The Tickle Trunk, The Paint Store, Party Equipment Rentals, Drumheller Equipment Rentals, Hoodoo Voodoo Motorsports, actor Lothar Malmberg, and locations of the Dan McDermid, Neil Clark, David Stanger and Wanda McCann families.
