Described as a ‘classic horror film,’ The Clown At Midnight began a 13-day shoot in Winnipeg this month. A production of GFT/Paquin Entertainment, the $2.5-million film stars Christopher Plummer, Margot Kidder, Sara Lassez, James Duval and Tatyana Ali.

Clown is the first of several expected productions from the newly created GFT/Paquin, which combines gft president Gary Howsam and Gilles Paquin, president of Paquin Entertainment and Oak Street Music. Howsam and Paquin are producing along with coproducer Vonnie Von Helmolt.

Jean Pellerin is directing the script from American Kenneth Hall. Barry Gravelle is the dop.
