John Hamilton directed, with Stuart Harding as producer and Jacques Methe, Stephane Reichel and Anne Carlucci as executive producers. Sylvie Laurin is executive in charge of production. Sublet wrapped Sept. 27 in Montreal.

The second film, The Witness Files, shoots until Nov. 6 in Montreal and revolves around the murder of an undercover cop and the District Attorney’s hunt to find and convict the killer despite a lack of evidence.

Renaud Mathieu is the producer, with Douglas Jackson directing. Methe, Reichel and Diana Kerew are executive producers and Laurin is the executive in charge of production.

Both films are scheduled for delivery at the end of December.
