Canuxploitation emerged during a period of significant government tax incentives, leading to a surge in low-budget, often outrageous, but undeniably entertaining films. This era gave rise to influential figures like David Cronenberg and Bob Clark, who launched their careers with genre-bending works that garnered international attention and established dedicated cult followings. Films such as “Black Christmas,” “My Bloody Valentine,” and “Cannibal Girls” became touchstones of Canadian cinema, showcasing a willingness to embrace the unconventional cinema and push boundaries.
Andromedia Distribution Inc. recognizes the cultural significance of this era and believes it’s time for a resurgence. The company is embarking on a series of Canuxploitation productions that will celebrate the genre’s legacy while injecting fresh ideas and contemporary sensibilities.
“Canadian movies have long held a respected place in the global film market,” says Bill Dever, President of Andromedia. “I believe it’s time to inject more fun and unbridled creativity into Canadian cinema. We have a rich history of genre filmmaking, and we’re excited to build upon that foundation.”
Andromedia has recently wrapped production on “Sorority Shark Attack,” a film that promises to deliver the thrills and chills expected of the Canuxploitation tradition. The company is now gearing up for its next project, “Storm Warning,” a Nazi vampire zombie movie slated to be directed by David Langlois and filmed in Southwest Ontario. These movies will be produced by Sam Dever.
Dever emphasizes the importance of fostering a diverse and commercially viable Canadian film industry. “Canada needs a training ground outside of U.S.-based service productions and Telefilm-defined Canadian content,” he states. “It’s time we produce movies with commercial appeal and diversify this industry. There are many Canadian voices deserving of recognition, and we want to shine a light on those who are committed to the success of Canadian cinema.”
“Sorority Shark Attack” is scheduled for theatrical release in Canada and the USA in late May, followed by “Storm Warning” later in the summer. Andromedia Distribution Inc. invites movie fans to join them in celebrating and supporting the building on the tradition of Canuxploitation, a unique and vital part of Canada’s cinematic heritage.
