Principal photography is underway in Toronto and Hamilton, Ont., on Toronto-based filmmaker Naomi Jaye’s The Incident Report.

Jaye wrote and directs the drama/thriller/romance, which is adapted from the novel of the same name by Canadian author Martha Baillie, who is also an executive producer.

The feature is produced by Toronto-based Julie Baldassi (Wildhood) of Younger Daughter Films and Brian Robertson (Cursed Films) of Low End, with other executive producers including Aditya Chand, Jonas Prupas, Dean Perlmutter, Charles Baillie, Harland Weiss, Donovan M. Boden, Isil Gilderdale, and Emily Harris. It’s executive produced by Academy Award-winning Charlie Kaufman (pictured bottom-right; I’m Thinking of Ending Things).

The Incident Report is Jaye’s sophomore feature after The Pin. It stars Britt Lower (pictured top-left; Severance) as a librarian who receives a series of threatening letters while striking up a romance with a younger cab driver, played by Tom Mercier (pictured top-middle; Synonyms).

The cast also includes Jean Yoon (pictured top-right; Kim’s Convenience) and Sook-Yin Lee (pictured bottom-left; Shortbus).

The film is produced in association with Through The Lens Entertainment, with participation from Telefilm Canada and Ontario Creates. Game Theory Films will be distributing the film in Canada.

Lower is managed by Kirsten Ames and represented by Jo Yao at UTA. Mercier is repped by Fred Malek at Caractères and managed by Brennan O’Donnell at Grandview. Yoon is represented by Kishwar Iqbal at Gary Goddard Agency. And Lee is represented by MaryJane MacCallum at The Arc.
