Short Film to Hit Classrooms

FEBRUARY 2010  |  Shooting Eye's award-winning short film, Service, has just been licensed by publisher Pearson Education Canada for use as part of an educational digital text book that will be used in school classrooms. Kinda cool, eh? Service is the story of three young adults struggling with the loss of a close friend to the brutality of war overseas. It will now serve as an educational tool - something the filmmakers are delighted to see as the very nature of the film was designed to provoke discussion.

Love is Everything

MID-NOVEMBER 2009  |   It's that time of year again. Christmas is fast approaching and chaos is about to ensue. And with it comes a deluge of Christmas music, old and new. Well, move over Crosby and Bowie, Hamilton's got it's own Christmas album and it's all about supporting a good cause. Thanks to some fifteen generous musicians, Design Hope's fourth volume in support of Hamilton's Out of the Cold program releases this week.

This short documentary was produced by Shooting Eye's Jeremy Major and Aaron Lam and released at the CD launch on November 15. Watch it now.

Hockey Doc Hits TV

NOVEMBER 2009  | Last spring, The Shooting Eye's Jeremy Major and Aaron Lam were quietly editing away on a documentary produced by Redcanoe Productions of Hamilton for CBC Documentary Channel.

And what interesting timing for its subject matter. For months and months, North Americans have been following the ups and downs of Jim Balsillie's quest to bring an NHL team to Hamilton. What many don't realize is that Hamilton once had its very own NHL team.
