Revolver Film Company, a Toronto and Los Angeles-based spot and music video company that is a division of Toronto-based The Partners’ Film Company, has officially separated its commercial unit, which will now be a Toronto-based satellite called Trailer Park Films.
Executive producers at Trailer Park are Dan Ford and Tom McLean, who had previously worked under the Revolver aegis. Executive producer Allen Weinrib continues at Revolver in Toronto, which will now concentrate solely on music video production. The Los Angeles-based branch of Revolver is headed by executive producer Kelly Norris.
Director sales rep Tracy Ternan joined Trailer Park Films a month ago to head sales. Before this, she spent the past two and a half years as a post producer at Toronto-based The Post Group, preceded by a two-year stint as a scheduler at Soho Post & Graphics, Toronto.
Ternan said that forming a separate spot division allows for a greater focus on commercial production. "Over the years, there’s been a lot of people who’ve worked with Revolver in both the commercial and music video areas," said Ternan. "But music videos are taking off in their own direction, and commercials need to be focused in their own direction."
Trailer Park provides exclusive Canadian commercial representation for directors Phillip Dixon, Liz Friedlander, Francis Lawrence and Rocky Schenck of Hollywood-based DNA. The shop also reps directors Neil Abramson, Nick Brandt, Buddy Cone, Breck Eisner, Melodie McDaniel, Ramaa Mosley, co-directors Chris Riess and Amy Hill (a.k.a.
