Greenlight Alberta Selects Two Short Films for Production Funding
Baron Camera's The Tuesday Test and Brimstone Pictures' Room 309 have received funding through Edmonton Screen's Call for Short Films, supporting the Greenlight Alberta program.
Edmonton Screen's Call for Short Films to support the Greenlight Alberta program has selected two projects for funding: The Tuesday Test from Baron Camera and Room 309 from Brimstone Pictures.
The call for proposals opened in June, inviting independent filmmakers in Northern Alberta to submit short films ready to go into production. The adjudication panel, including select industry peers, reviewed thea submissions, and the highest-scoring projects were selected for funding.
Each film receives up to $50,000 in funding. In return, the sets double as training grounds, with Greenlight Alberta's trainees getting hands-on, paid experience in Assistant Director, Production Coordinator, and Production Assistant roles, mentored by key members of each production's team.
About The Tuesday Test
Convinced that their work days may be repeating, two co-workers devise a test to determine whether each day is truly different from the last.
About Room 309
A business traveller arrives at the elegant Hotel Selkirk in the early 1930s for what should be a routine overnight stay. At check-in, the charming receptionist tries to give him Room 309, but the uneasy manager intervenes insisting that the room is never rented. That night, the traveller hears soft crying coming from behind the forbidden door. When he finally looks through the old-fashioned keyhole, he sees a pale young woman in a nightgown, standing in the dark by a rain-streaked window, staring down at a bed. The hotel gives him no answers. Only a warning. The more he ignores it, the closer he comes to a truth that was meant to stay locked away. By morning, he realizes the room didn't just remember her… It's remembering him.
What's Next
Both productions head into pre-production this August, with principal photography running September through October and post-production in November. Final films are due by the end of December 2026.
