Non-Union

I am a retired physician, always loved the arts and was backstage in high school.

I grew up in Europe, am fluently bilingual (Parisian French and English). I lived in Paris, The Hague and London (the other one!). I moved to Canada as a 17 yr old and finished school, went to University, became a physician and worked for 20 years as a rural GP in North Eastern Alberta doing C sections and other surgeries as well.

I burnt out of practice in 2008, and moved to London to work in Patient Safety and retired in 2022.

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.
