UK-Canada film production

Scared Goose was founded in Canada in 2012 and has been a UK company since 2024. Its producer, Matt Schichter, is Canadian, has produced features in Ontario and now line produces in the UK. If your film has a foot in both countries, you get one person who knows both.

Who this is for

Canadian producers coming to the UK

Shooting here, or looking for a UK partner. We build the UK budget and schedule, work through UK tax relief, hire the crew and run the UK shoot.

UK producers looking at Canada

Thinking about shooting or partnering in Canada? Matt has produced there and can come on as a paid consultant or producer to work out whether it fits your film and what it would take.

Films that could be official co-productions

The UK and Canada have an official co-production treaty. An approved co-production can qualify as national in both countries and access both sets of incentives. We can model it for you as paid work before you take it to your lawyers and the certifying bodies.
