Hi, my name is Gillian and I am the owner of Bright Eyes Films.

Bright eyes films is a female-led independent production company based in Southern Alberta. We focus on meaningful storytelling, fair pay practices, and collaboration with regional artists, businesses, and community partners.

We are in pre-production of our first short film titled Background Noise.



Project overview: Background Noise is a comedy-drama short film that follows a group of background actors, navigating ambition, visibility and connection on the fringes of the Alberta film industry.

Why this film matters: this film highlights underrepresented perspectives within the film industry while fostering community collaboration. It supports local performers, crew and businesses through ethical, Union compliant production.
