Backrooms' Execs Launch New Production Banner (Exclusive)

The global box office success of Vancouver-shot Backrooms has led to the launch of a new banner, Black Harbor, in Vancouver, designed as a full-service hub for American and international producers aiming to bring projects to British Columbia. The venture reunites veteran location manager Jacob Bailey and producer Jonathan J.J. Dubois with Chris Ferguson and Osgood Perkins, joining Kate Kroll and Gabriel Medina to form a leadership quartet. Kane Parsons’ viral Backrooms project, a $10 million adaptation that has generated over $260 million in global ticket sales, helped inspire the banner’s direction. Black Harbor intends to provide end-to-end services from project development through delivery, leveraging local crews, equipment access, and BC tax incentives to maximize efficiency as budgets tighten. The team emphasizes deep knowledge of the market, incentives, and the challenges of producing in a shifting global landscape, with the aim of making BC a preferred base for both independent features and television productions.
