Frantic Films

Horrible Employer. The people leaving positive reviews are people that worked for a Frantic production, and not actually for the Frantic Films corporation. The work environment on productions, and anything positive these people have to say about the company is actually a reflection of the actual series producer, not the corporation. Frantic Films Corporate is a horrible place to work.

Great new office!

I was recently selected through a casting call for a CBC show that frantic films was handling. Throughout the casting selection process, compensation was mentioned, but never clarified until I pretty much told them I wasn't interested. What they told me didn't sound like fair pay, but I thought it would be a fun experience and the money wasn't that far off of what it should be.Once they started filming, they kept adding shots, adding hours, asking for more, and never mentioned any increase in compensation.When I brought up these issues they cancelled the shoot, and avoided admitting any responsibility for blatantly lying about the hour requirement.DO NOT AGREE TO DO ANY WORK FOR FRANTIC FILMS WITHOUT A CLEAR WRITTEN CONTRACT.They will add hours. They will not treat you fairly. They will pressure you to meet their needs, while ignoring yours.They were supposed to do a film shoot at my house tomorrow, I'm in the middle of renovations, and have been working hard to try and clear the area they had asked to do the shoot.They did not even have the professional skills to notify me directly and tell me they were cancelling.The people at this company are unprofessional, inconsiderate, and just looking to take advantage of you. If you are to do any work for them, make sure the hours and expectations they demand are written out explicitly in a contract so that you can hold them to their word, and not be constantly pressured to be doing more. They do not value you, they only value the shots they want to get.

One of the best production companies in Canada. Great shows great crews.
