Mike Clattenburg’s latest installment featuring Ricky, Julian and Bubbles, Trailer Park Boys III, received the most coin, with around $3.47 million in support. The film, which is being distributed by Alliance Films in Canada, began production this month.

Actors Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith are once again on board the film, along with John Dunsworth and Jonathan Torrens. Trailer Park Boys III is produced by Topsail Productions and Trailer Park Productions.
