Ceroma Films is an award-winning boutique film production company with a focus on director-driven works. We bring unique stories we love to audiences through collaborative development and hands-on producing. We love to discover new talent and work with established creators. In 2023, leveraging past successes we teamed up with Reign Films to work on an exciting slate of films and series.
We have premiered award winning films at prestigious festivals such as the Toronto International Film Festival, Locarno Film Festival, and SXSW Film Festival. We work within Canada as well as Internationally through co-productions.
We’re firm believers that stories come alive in a multitude of ways. Finding the best perspective is rooted in the author of the story and the creativity form can offer. We’re not afraid to take risks with unconventional structure and exciting new mediums. Ceroma Films recently opened a sister company: Plik Plak Plok Interactive to produce its debut videogame Old People Island (co-produced with the National Film Board of Canada).
We are grateful to be working and playing on the unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil Waututh territory also known as Vancouver, BC
