ABOUT THE SERIES

The Frontier Below is a filmed series of micro-narratives that reinterprets moments from Alberta’s oil industry in a way that makes them feel like folklore or mythic tales. Driven largely by visuals, the goal is to represent these stories through metaphor, symbolism and juxtapose the enormity of a nation building industry with intimate character moments and the individual . 

Other Notes about the Series:
Dialogue is built by using repurposed sections of  manuscripts and speeches from history. 
Interior scenes for the series are all set in abandoned, unused, or vacated spaces in the city. 

Part 4 Synopsis

At a time when ranching is still the dominant industry in Alberta, a rancher must decide the future of his land when presented with the opportunity to lease it away for exploration. Beginning with speeches from the Rancher and the Industrialist, the physical exchange of this transaction unfolds across a ritualistic tea ceremony.
