We are Ultra 8 Pictures.
For 20 years, Colin Geddes was one of the world’s most experienced film programmers, in charge of the longest-running and best-respected selection of genre cinema at any top-tier international festival–TIFF‘s Midnight Madness. During that time, he honed the instincts necessary to know what distinguishes a good genre film from a breakout hit, and the skills and knowledge to be able to get filmmakers to the next level of their careers.
With his partner Katarina, who brings writing, editing and hands-on production experience to Ultra 8 Pictures, they have successfully produced several films and helped many others find the right festival premiere or the right home with a sales agents or distributors. They provide an Executive Producer service – giving objective and seasoned advice and support at any point – or throughout – the entire filmmaking process.
