Established
in 1986 by partners Kevin DeWalt and Ken Krawczyk, Minds Eye
Entertainment is now one of Canada's most prolific independent
production and distribution companies, internationally recognized
for its commitment to distinctive film and television product.
The company had its start producing corporate video projects,
and owned the first Betacam SP editing suite and Betacam SP
camera package in Saskatchewan. The partners soon wanted to
branch out into something more challenging, and tried their
hand at drama.
With no provincial film agency, they got their start through
a joint venture program between the NFB and the provincial
government and produced their first half-hour drama called
The Great Electrical Revolution in February 1991.
From there, the list of film and television productions has
grown enormously. Enlisting top talent and participating in
international co-production partnerships in the U.S. and worldwide,
Minds Eye Entertainment has produced television movies and
feature films such as The Unsaid with Academy award nominee
Andy Garcia, Eli’s Lesson with Oscar winner Jack Palance,
Viva Las Nowhere with James Caan, Murder Seen with Golden
Globe nominee Timothy Bottoms, Something More with Tom Cavanaugh,
The Lost Daughter with Richard Chamberlain, Falling Angels
with Academy award nominee Miranda Richardson, and Prairie
Giant: The Tommy Douglas Story, with a stellar cast of Canadian
award-winning talent.
Minds Eye Entertainment produced the prime time drama series
Just Cause for W Network/Pax TV; the action/adventure youth
series 2030CE for YTV; the travel/adventure series My Global
Adventure for Life Network; MythQuest, a drama series for
PBS, CBC and Showcase; and co-produced the enormously successful
Incredible Story Studio with Vérité Films for
YTV and Disney UK.
Minds Eye Entertainment’s productions have earned awards
and accolades around the world at the Gemini Awards, the Genie
Awards, the Banff Television Festival, the Alliance for Children
and Television Award of Excellence, the New York Children’s
Festival and the Chicago Children’s Festival.
