Writer-director Chandler Levack’s sophomore feature Mile End Kicks has wrapped production in Montreal.

The rom-com is produced by Matthew Miller (Nirvanna the Band the Show) for Toronto’s Zapruder Films and Pat Kiely (Three Night Stand) for Montreal-based Banner House Productions. The film is a majority Quebec coproduction with Ontario.

Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria), Jay Baruchel (BlackBerry) Devon Bostick (Oppenheimer), Stanley Simons (The Iron Claw) and Juliette Gariépy (Société distincte) star in the film.

In Mile End Kicks, Ferreira plays a 24-year old who moves to Montreal to write a book about Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill. The film is set against the indie music scene in the titular Montreal neighbourhood in 2011, where acts such as Grimes, Mac DeMarco and Arcade Fire first rose to mainstream prominence.

Montreal rock band TOPS, who play a fictional band in the film, will also contribute two original songs.

Production on the film began in Toronto on Aug. 19 and wrapped in Montreal on Sept. 29. Mile End Kicks is produced with the participation of Telefilm Canada and the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles. L.A.’s XYZ Films is financing the film in conjunction with the Finland-based investment fund manager IPR.VC. XYZ Films will also be handling worldwide sales, excluding Canada as part of its New Visions slate of films.

New Visions, which has the goal of spotlighting new and established creatives internationally, was launched back in 2023 with Canadian-Pakistani writer-director Zarrar Kahn’s In Flames.

Montreal-based Entract Films is releasing the film in Quebec while Toronto’s Elevation Pictures handles the rest of Canada.
