“You can make art here”: First film shot in New Brunswick to be featured at TIFF since 2013 comes to Fredericton Cineplex

Posted on 2025-06-03 by Aidan Keenan Posted in News

Do I Know You From Somewhere, the first film to be shot in New Brunswick and screened at the Toronto International Film Festival since 2013, is coming to the Fredericton Cineplex on May 30. The opening weekend in Fredericton sold out days before the premiere, prompting Cineplex to add a full week of screenings from June 2 to June 5. The film is the directorial feature debut of local filmmaker Arianna Martinez who co wrote the film with her husband Gordon Mihan. Martinez, Mihan, and Lance Blakney, make up Strike Pictures, the company that produced Do I Know You From Somewhere. All three emphasized that shooting the film in New Brunswick was more than a financial consideration. Keeping shooting locations local meant that film’s crew could maintain a healthy work-life ballance while still finding employment in their field. The trio behind Strike Pictures noted that this production style sharply contrasts the industry norm, which favours long hours in major filmmaking hubs like Toronto and Vancouver. Shooting in New Brunswick also meant that the crew could highlight the natural beauty in the Picture Province, shooting exteriors on the Maquapit lake and interiors at the Fredericton Delta.
