STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
The Gateway to Alberta's Southern Frontier.

Hatchap Productions is not a vendor; we are a dedicated narrative engine operating out of Lethbridge, Alberta. We specialize in developing and producing original IP and facilitating high-level production logistics for the Southern Alberta region.​​​
We are currently vetting partners in three specific verticals: ​​
-
Executive Production
-
International Co-Production &
-
Regional Production Services.​​​
INVESTORS & EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS
Fuel the Machine.
You aren't just funding a film; you are investing in a cultural asset. Hatchap Productions offers a slate of vetted, market-ready IP ranging from commercial thrillers to heart-driven indie's and prestige historical dramas.
The R.O.I.
-
Tax Incentives: Leverage the Alberta Film & Television Tax Credit (up to 30%) and regional bonuses.
​
-
Creative Control: Direct access to "The Machine"—a lean, efficient production model that puts money on the screen, not in overhead.
​
-
Legacy: Associate your brand or portfolio with award-winning storytelling from the next great Canadian film hub.
​
-
Leverage: Lethbridge's small city footprint to accelerate company moves, ease budget concerns and mitigate travel mishaps.
CO-PRODUCERS & SHOWRUNNERS
Your Boots on the Ground.
For production companies in Vancouver, Toronto, and Los Angeles, Southern Alberta offers an unparalleled cinematic canvas—from the dramatic coulees to charming period-accurate architecture.
We provide the infrastructure you lack:
-
Location Authority: We hold the keys to the region’s most unique, un-shot locations.
​
-
Talent & Resource Activation: Through our proprietary database, local connections and alliances we activate local cast and crew, satisfying regional spend requirements.
​
-
Creative Supervision: We don't just "fix"; we execute. Hatchap provides Director-level supervision and high-quality Cinematography and production services to ensure your second unit or main unit matches your visual language perfectly.
REGIONAL
PRODUCTION SERVICES
Extend Your Reach. Lower Your Burn.
Southern Alberta offers a cinematic landscape that mimics the American Midwest, Mars, and the Post-Apocalypse—often within a 20-minute radius. But shooting outside the major hubs of Calgary and Vancouver can be a logistical gamble without the right partners.
Hatchap Productions acts as your Unit Production Partner in the South. We don't just "fix" problems; we prevent them by integrating our local infrastructure into your workflow.

Our Service Architecture:
-
Location Intelligence: Stop scouting via Google Earth. We hold the keys to the region’s most versatile backdrops—from the dramatic topography of the Coulees and the High Level Bridge to period-correct "Americana" architecture and brutalist industrial sites. We liason the permits, the landowners, and the access.
​
-
Labor & Casting Activation: Travel costs kill budgets. Through our longstanding database (connected to Screen Lethbridge and the Lethbridge Independent Film Society), we activate vetted local crew (Grips, Electrics, PA Support) and a robust roster of background performers and day-players. Keep your keys in Calgary; fill your ranks in Lethbridge.
​
-
Municipal Logistics: We possess deep ties with the City of Lethbridge, Economic Development Lethbridge, the local talent and technicians, and the surrounding regional districts. Whether you need road closures, drone flight clearances, or complex base-camp setups, we know where to go to fast-track the red tape.
​
-
Creative First or Second Unit: Want to shoot a whole film with HatChap Productions - Let's go!
​
Need B-Roll, plates, or pickup shots but can't justify moving the main unit? Our in-house cinematography team (Arri/Blackmagic/Red/DJI workflows) can execute Director-level briefs independently, delivering seamless footage that matches your A-Cam specifications.
