Fable Forest Films

Fable Forest Films Independent filmmakers in Waterloo Region, Canada. We make original movies, series & podcasts, share the journey, and support local film. Hearing. Seeing. Feeling.

There is a secret place that we know of, where the soil is filled with imagination. Over more years than you can imagine, a whispering wood has sprung forth, trees with tales to be told for those who would listen. A small few walk freely through this wood. It shouldn't surprise anyone, that we have discovered fables which make you laugh, others to race your heart and more still that will chill you

to the bone. The road there and back is treacherous, but we travel it because we need to. We hope you can enjoy each of the stories we pluck from the branches...
..as we travel time and time again, into The Fable Forest.

Throwback Thursday to the time Jay, Ash, and Mike found themselves working as background performers on Black Fawn Films horror movie The Heretics!!

One of the fun things about being part of the local film community is occasionally ending up on somebody else’s set instead of your own.

A crazy night, some wonderfully creepy costumes and sets, and another little chapter in the Fable Forest history books.

Here are a few photos from behind the scenes.

What if your family feud followed you into the afterlife? 🌲👻

Bickerman’s Grove is our dark comedy about two families, one inheritance, and a competition that gets increasingly ridiculous, until even death fails to put an end to the shenanigans!

Here’s a little taste.

The full film is available right now, completely FREE on YouTube.

Throwback Thursday to Bickerman’s Grove.

This was one of those projects that really helped shape the early days of Fable Forest. A dark comedy, a great group of people, a whole lot of filmmaking lessons, and a ridiculous number of memories.

We went digging through the old photo archive and found a bunch from the shoot, so here are a few favourites.

It’s pretty cool looking back at everything that went into making this one.

This is where it started.

Back in 2013, we made our very first feature film: 'I Was A Greenhouse'.

It was ambitious. It was difficult. We learned a hell of a lot making it. And it moved us toward everything Fable Forest Films has done since.

Last Thursday we shared some memories from making the film. Tonight, we're going all the way back to the beginning.

I Was A Greenhouse is available to watch FREE on YouTube.

Over the coming months, we'll be opening up more of the Fable Forest catalogue: films, series and more...

But it seems right to start at the start.

- all the way back to where it started.

In 2013, we made our very first movie, 'I Was a Greenhouse'.

It was tough. It was a learning experience. It was a beautiful adventure. It was the beginning of everything that came after.

More than a decade later, we’re heading back to the beginning. Next Tuesday, 'I Was a Greenhouse' returns to YouTube as we start opening up more of the Fable Forest catalogue and sharing some old favourites again.

Here are a few memories from where it all started.

I Was a Greenhouse - on YouTube next Tuesday.

Had a great time at the Charlie Film Festival at the Princess Cinemas this weekend. Always inspiring seeing what emerging filmmakers are creating. This was our second year attending and our first year participating as judges. Saw some genuinely beautiful work and met a lot of passionate people in the local film community. 🎬
