Batts ‘n Barnacles – Erica Batten

Costume - Wardrobe - Millinery

Non-Union

I am a Fanshawe college Alumni graduate of Fashion Design with Honors and am currently completing Fanshawe’s Costume production course. I operate my custom costume business under the name Batts ‘n Barnacles, offering detailed customizations and in house alterations. I excelled in millinery, designing, patterning, and 3d shaping. I am beginning to study special effects materials to enhance my work. I have costume experience across multiple genres from period to modern, and have worked with a large array of fabrics, from silks to fun fur, which you can find me selling at festivals in the London Area, including the Oxford Renaissance Festival each fall.

Fresh, never-seen locations, access to hard-to-book spaces like our airport and university, and a warm welcome for filming with plenty of support services… London, Ontario is open for business to the film and television industry for productions large and small.   

London can be whenever or wherever you want us to be. We have streetscapes and architecture that can stand in for cities across North America. Gorgeous in any season, ‘The Forest City’ is the 11th largest metropolitan area in Canada, capable of hosting any size of production. Our anchor position in Southwestern Ontario gives us access to rural, agricultural and unique small townscapes.  

We’re only 2 hours down the highway from Toronto, 1 ½ hours from Hamilton, and have an international airport, GoTrain and Via Rail access. Best of all, we boast a strong and growing local talent and crew capability. Our film office and the city are dedicated to providing location support, smooth permitting, access to reasonable accommodations and a positive production experience for local, national and international filmmakers.
