Untitled Productions

Bailey Kerluke and Zoe Slusar, originally from the Black Diamond area, are the founders of Untitled Productions, a film company where they enjoy the creative freedom of writing, directing, producing, acting in and editing their own films.
The two young, aspiring filmmakers are based in the Calgary area and have been working together since high school to create refreshingly unique and entertaining independent films. Bailey and Zoe began making an impact on the film scene in 2009 when they produced their first independent feature film entitled 'Summer School'; in which they each played 4 different characters. This film premiered at The Plaza theatre in Kensington.
In 2010 they made a name for themselves Canada wide, winning 1st place in the CBC's Calgary Short Film Contest with their humorous take on 'Black Coffee'. 2010 was also the year their short 'Nature's Library' premiered at the Edmonton International Film Festival and their short 'Urban Spin' premiered at the Toronto Urban Film Festival.
This year Zoe and Bailey broke into the International Festival circuit with shorts screening in New Jersey, U.S.A; Toronto, Canada; Cork, Ireland and more.
In October, 2011 Untitled Production's short film 'Nature's Library' toured with Prairie Tales throughout Alberta Art Days. Zoe and Bailey travelled from Milk River to St. Albert, stopping along the way to host screenings and Q&A sessions; as well as giving workshops on Low Budget Filmmaking.
But the favourite time of the year for the duo is approaching! As per tradition Zoe and Bailey host a yearly FREE screening event, open to the public, to share their film creations from the previous 12 months. They have had 5 successful screening events to date and are excited to announce their 6th screening!
'Untitled Productions: A Year Through The Lens'
Taking place at The Plaza Theatre in Kensington on Wednesday, December 28th at 5:00pm. Doors open at 4:45pm and admission is free!
'Untitled Productions: A Year Through The Lens' is an amazing compilation of unique short films produced entirely by Zoe and Bailey throughout 2011. The short films include multiple award winners and International Film Festival Selections. Spanning multiple genres, featuring spectacular cinematography, animation, brilliant writing and memorable characters, it's going to be a fantastic mix of shorts and the creative variety is sure to keep everyone entertained!
Screening Dates:
Tuesday, December 27th at 7:00pm - Sheep River Library, Turner Valley
Wednesday December 28th at 5:00pm, - The Plaza Theatre, Kensington, Calgary
Thursday, December 29th at 7:00pm - The Stop, Black Diamond.
Zoe and Bailey have been interested in all aspects of film and its production since they started working together 7 years ago. The two play off one-another to create genius scripts, characters that pull the audience into their world and creative film concepts that capture, inspire and make their audience laugh.
The duo love being involved in all aspects of creating independent work. It's time consuming and definitely a labour of love with the two entirely self-funding all of their films; handling their entire production and distribution.
The two young artists strive to use clever humour, beautiful animation, exciting filming techniques and fresh ideas to entertain their audience. They are proud to produce films that make people think and feel good and they aim to contribute to the world in a positive way through their projects.
DVD's of all Untitled Productions previous and current works will be for sale at each event at special screening prices and the filmmakers look forward to meeting everyone!
