  • Producer with a Mission
    Producer with a Mission By Gerald Pratley Spring 1995 Issue of KINEMA ROCK DEMERS: PRODUCER WITH A MISSION Ten years ago a nondescript two-story office building on rue Roy in the lovely St. Denis and St. Laurent district of Montréal became the office and operating headquarters of a new company called Productions la Fête initiated by Rock Demers, a well respected and admired man about film in Québec. Dedicated to making sensible family films on a regular basis appealing to children and parents alike not many observersin or out of the business gave the project much chance of success. Demers’ admirers praised him for his courage, his detractors were smugly certain he would fail. The best that could be expected would be a hopeful first, followed by a few more and a fade out, and then a ”for rent” sign in the window. But today, in the tenth anniversary year, the second floor is filled with constant activity; the original staff of three is now thirteen taking care of constant phone calls and the comings and goings of film people, both creative and financial. The production centre is continually busy, the entrance halls and walls are covered with pictures, posters and diplomas reflecting the considerable achievements and successes of this now firmly established company we used to know only as Faroun Films, a small, specialised distributor of European pictures. The reassuring fact is that Productions la Fête is doing far more with a staff of thirteen than many other Canadian companies are doing with three times as many. It not only raises the money to make the films but distributes, publicizes, markets and sells them around the world.
