The beautiful St. Lawerence River has been the setting for many films and video projects, including an increasing number of locally produced projects.
Fishrizzo Productions
Fishrizzo Productions is a joint venture between filmmaking partners Frank Burelle and John Earle.
The two collaborated on their first film in 2007, entitled Submerged. A year later, the pair were at it again, releasing the film Treasures of The Lost Villages in 2008.
In 2009, Burelle and Earle released a film called 86400. It is unique portrayal of the City of Cornwall that features over 30 unscripted interviews with local people. The film was shot over a 24 hour period (or 86400 seconds) and the film crew traversed the 62 square kilometers of the City's boundary. The film focuses on the positive aspects of life in Cornwall, past, present and future, while not ignoring the ups and downs that the city has endured over the past century.
