CORPORATE PROFILE
Black Walk made its mark on the industry in the 1990’s producing over 500 music videos including hits from numerous US and Canadian A-list talent such as Alanis Morrisette, Hootie and the Blowfish and Nickelback. After a decade of leading the industry, CEO Mihkel Harilaid decided to change directions and ventured into independent film production. Today, the company has produced over twelve feature films and is thriving under the creative direction of both Mihkel Harilaid and business partner Brigitte Kingsley who became president of Black Walk in 2007.
Black Walk’s film credits include the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival Favorite and Independent Spirit Award Winner Phil the Alien, the 2004 feature film Ham & Cheese starring Dave Foley, Jason Jones and Samantha Bee and the 2007 sexy sci-fi-comedy Dark Rising which was nominated in 2008 for 6 Canadian Comedy Awards.
Slated for 2011 are three new releases including their largest in-house production to date Medium Raw: Night of the Wolf, an action-thriller directed by Andrew Cymek and starring John-Rhys Davies (Lord of the Rings), William B. Davis (X-Files), Mercedes McNab (Buffy / Angel), and WWE stars Jay “Christian” Reso and the late Andrew “Test” Martin. Medium Raw is being released through Anchor Bay in August 2011 in Canada, US, UK and Australia.
Also expect to see the expansion of their Dark Rising Brand. The television series Dark Rising: The Savage Tales of Summer Vale is currently airing on Super Channel and the accompanying feature film Dark Rising: Summer Strikes Back! is set for a fall 2011 DVD release through Universal Vivendi.
