Back in February our crew spent the day in, out and over the water shooting with Canadian Olympic hopeful @ehren_paterson18 #olympics #deepcoverowing #productioncompany #remotelocation @deepcoverowing @rowingcanada @pwatt74 @byronkopman @kelvinshwong @asjoliej @makeupbymonicalee @gorddesignhouse @tealy.cat @maia.wein @sarahchrnenkoff @treya_designhouseco

In early December 2019 we had the privilege of working together with some of Vancouver's finest film crew to produce the latest spot for Lee Jeans China. The commercial was supposed to release in Asia on Chinese New Years, but due to COVID 19 the spot did not air until last week. Very proud and thankful on how the whole team came together to execute this logistically challenging shoot. We are modifying our approach to the current global circumstances under new safety protoco...ls, allowing us to continue film production in the reality that we all face.
