The Story Behind the Story
EST. 2000
The Shooting Eye is an award-winning, director-driven boutique production company with credits across Film, TV and Branded Content.
Director Jeremy Major shares his take on 25 Years Making Motion Pictures.
A Story of Perseverance & Consistency
In 2000, Director Jeremy Major started The Shooting Eye. With it, he shot his first film, Home Spin.
His second film, Heartland Son played at film festivals in New York and Los Angeles, and was distributed by Vanguard Releasing in LA.
At the turn of the millennium, the company produced an historic docudrama that shared an untold story behind the War of 1812 and accompanied an educational package for schools across Canada.
As the film side was developing, The Shooting Eye was working with Forevergreen Film & TV, producing Brand-driven reality TV shows and documentaries. This led to Shaw Festival: Behind the Curtain and Hockey: More Than a Game for PBS.
Meanwhile, the company started producing commercials for organizations like United Way and various other Brands.
Web series came our way, like dozens of Barenaked Ladies behind-the-scenes stories.
Special story opportunities arrived like The Run to Live, a documentary that followed runner Scott Cannata across Canada through 8 months of daily marathons to raise money for Cancer.
The third feature film, Artless, filmed in both Hamilton and New York City, played at festivals in Canada and Western New York.
This is just a handful of amazing experiences that permeate 25 years in production. The common thread: Great partnerships, collaborations, and opportunities to bring vision to powerful, human stories that celebrate, teach, and entertain.
We’ve won several awards along the way for excellence in such areas as cinematography to overall production in both Canada and the United States.
And for all of it, we are truly grateful.
“We’re driven to tell stories of humanity becoming its best. We use film as a tool for moving people towards positive outcomes.”
