Cameras are now rolling in Saskatchewan on survival thriller Die Alone by Saskatoon, Sask.-born filmmaker Lowell Dean (Wolfcop).

The feature is written and directed by Dean, and produced by Regina-based Minds Eye Entertainment. Principal photography wraps July 14, with a theatrical release set for 2024, according to a news release.

Die Alone is produced by Minds Eye’s Kevin DeWalt, Danielle Masters, and Benjamin DeWalt. Montreal’s Filmoption International has the distribution rights in Canada.

Starring Canadian actors Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) and Douglas Smith (Don’t Worry Darling), and U.S. actor Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Die Alone is set in a future world that grapples with the aftermath of an outbreak and the creatures it has created.

The cast also includes Kimberly-Sue Murray (V Wars), Jonathan Cherry (The Novice), Amy Matysio (WolfCop) and Harlan Blayne Kytwayhat (Shoresy).

Die Alone is produced with the participation of Telefilm Canada, with additional support through the Creative Saskatchewan Feature Film and TV Production Grant Program, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, and the Saskatchewan Media Production Industry Association’s Work Experience Training Program.

Erin Dean, CEO of Creative Saskatchewan, said in a statement that the film “has an impressive Saskatchewan spend and they are utilizing a lot of local labour.”

The budget for the film was not disclosed, but Dean tells Playback Daily that through the project “Saskatchewan will benefit from $9.8 million in positive economic impacts.”
