Creative Saskatchewan Visits Set of Paranormal Thriller “Beyond The Veil” Filming in Regina

Regina, SK – Creative Saskatchewan visited the set of Beyond The Veil this week, a paranormal thriller produced by Karma Film and supported through Creative Saskatchewan’s Feature Film and Television Production Grant. Filming took place at a stunning heritage home in Regina’s Lakeview neighborhood, doubling as a haunted house in the film.

The production is estimated to spend more than $4.3 million locally, resulting in a $5.8 million positive economic impact for Saskatchewan and creating nearly 80 jobs for Saskatchewan crew and performers. Creative Saskatchewan committed $1.7 million to the project, generating a return of $3.32 for every public dollar invested.

“Boasting a 100% local crew and cast, this project is a testament to the incredible talent and resources available in Saskatchewan,” says Anand Ramayya, Producer with Karma Film. “The film is helmed by local writer / director Dave Hansen, so hiring local was a priority for both of us, and it’s been easy to do business here thanks to the skilled crew, cast, welcoming communities, and unique locations that bring our story to life.”

The film follows three paranormal podcasters investigating a farmhouse abandoned since the Darnell family’s mysterious deaths in the 1960s. What begins as a hunt for evidence spirals into chaos when a mistranslated ritual invites an entity inside, turning the team from witnesses into participants.

“This production demonstrates the strong return on investment that film brings to Saskatchewan,” says Erin Dean, CEO of Creative Saskatchewan. “Not only does it create jobs and inject millions into our economy, but it also showcases Saskatchewan’s stories and locations to audiences worldwide. We’re proud to support projects like Beyond The Veil that strengthen our film industry and our economy.”

Filming highlights include Regina’s Lakeview neighborhood, the beloved Mercury Café, and an acreage just outside the city, locations that underscore Saskatchewan’s diverse and cinematic landscapes.

Creative Saskatchewan is excited to announce a major upgrade to our Production Directory. To better serve Saskatchewan’s film and television industry and align with national standards, we are transitioning to Reel-Scout, a film industry-specific platform used by film commissions across North America.

Reel-Scout offers a centralized, searchable database for crew, vendors, locations, and production services. Its modern, user-friendly interface enhances visibility for local professionals and streamlines how productions connect with Saskatchewan-based talent and resources.

What This Means for Current Directory Users

If you’re already listed in our existing directory, you’ll soon receive an onboarding email from Reel-Scout with a login link to activate your new account. Most of your listing information has already been migrated, so you’ll only need to update your profile using Reel-Scout’s new category structure to ensure your information is complete and accurately represented.

The current directory will remain active for a limited time during the transition. Users will have 60 days from today to complete their profile updates before the old system is retired.

Next Steps

Watch your inbox for the onboarding email from Reel-Scout in the coming weeks. Be sure to check your spam folder just in case. Creative Saskatchewan will also send a reminder to help ensure a smooth transition.

We’re grateful for your continued contributions to Saskatchewan’s vibrant screen industry. If you have any questions or need support, please contact us at office@creativesask.ca.

“Film and television production is a powerful economic driver for our province,” said Erin Dean, CEO of Creative Saskatchewan. “This season of Flat Out Food alone is estimated to generate over $496,000 in positive economic impact for Saskatchewan. With $149,250 in funding from our Feature Film and Television Production Grant, we’re seeing a return of $3.32 for every taxpayer dollar invested.” The production will spend approximately 20 days filming in various Saskatchewan locations and over 100 days editing locally, creating jobs and supporting local businesses.
