Rezolution Pictures, the Montreal-based production company run by Catherine Bainbridge, Christina Fon (both NSI Global Marketing) and Ernest Webb (NSI Aboriginal Cultural Trade Initiative), has been profiled in Playback.

Tracey Deer (NSI Storytellers, Featuring Aboriginal Stories Program), Cynthia Knight (NSI Drama Prize) and Courtney Montour (NSI IndigiDocs) are also part of the Rezolution Pictures team.

Catherine and Ernest spoke about the higher profile that projects like Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World and Mohawk Girls have earned their company.

As Ernest said about Rumble: “The film resonates with everybody. Black, white, native – everybody comes away with something.”

Catherine added about Rezolution’s goals: “We’re going for high-end, really well-told scripted stories. We’re forging relationships on an international level in a way that we had never done before.”
