Blue Flame Collective

r of the collective whole. It is the pinnacle of heat at the point of ignition. Inspired by the poetic potency of this idea, the Blue Flame Collective also embraces the remarkable perseverance historically attributed to the working class inhabitants who built Toronto’s East Side. Motivated by the spirit of this ingenuity and grit, the Collective diligently refines their craftsmanship and its effectiveness. Special attention is placed upon the development of new work that truthfully celebrates the culturally diverse and socially eccentric cityscape that is Toronto. It is an assembly of artists with a perceptive vision and articulate voices developing entertaining and thought provoking cinematic work. It is a new generation of cinema creators burning away the prevalent attitudes of civic negativity, American comparisons and national artistic ambivalence with a spirit of optimistic hard work, defining a new chapter in Canadian Film History. This is a scorching hot community of doers, igniting a prosperous, independent industry of artistic abundance – no apologies. Come join us by the fire.
