- Madeleine Arthur and Dianne Doan are leading the cast of Canadian-US psychological horror Doula, written and directed by Goldie Jones.
- The film is "inspired by strange true events," per the synopsis: a doula (Doan) arrives at an isolated mountain cabin to help with a difficult delivery, only to become trapped with her pregnant client (Arthur) in a "sadistic, reality-bending game where escape may come at a terrible price."
- Principal photography is due to begin October 1 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with support from the Manitoba Film and Music tax incentive.
- James J Yi, Alice Teufack, Judd Tilyard and Verity Fiction are producing, with Andrea Chung (The Card Counter) executive-producing via Carvel Rock Pictures alongside Kristine Estorninos; Nicole Arbusto is casting director.
- Arthur is repped by Gersh Agency, McGood Talent Management and Brave Artists Management; Doan is repped by Principals Talent, Innovative Artists and Forward Entertainment.
Why it matters: The October 1 Winnipeg start date, backed by Manitoba Film and Music's tax incentive, locks in *Doula* as the latest Canadian-US co-production to film in the province, while the "inspired by strange true events" hook paired with writer-director Goldie Jones' credit positions the project in the elevated, reality-bending horror lane that distributors have increasingly chased.
