ICAN Film is building Calgary's first vertical drama studio — phone-first series, shot fast, made for the platforms the world actually watches.
$14B global format · First dedicated studio in Calgary
The Last Delivery — A Lucy Original · Vertical cut
ReelMicro-dramas are minute-long episodes cut for the phone — cliffhanger to cliffhanger. Keep scrolling and watch the frame flip.
60–90s
Fifty to eighty of them per series. A hook every minute, a season in an afternoon.
7–10 days
A full series shot in under two weeks. Small crews, tight scripts, relentless schedules.
$14B
What the format already earns worldwide. Vancouver shoots ~20 a month. Calgary shoots none — until now.
A dedicated vertical unit in a city with fresh locations, deep crew talent and Alberta tax credits — without Vancouver's queue.
We're recruiting the people who'll build this with us — ground floor, first credits, first slate.
Everything ICAN makes feeds one of three engines — and they feed each other.
Micro-drama series for platforms, brands and funders — made in Calgary.

"Working as camera operator with the ICAN crew on The Last Delivery was incredible. They run a high-level production where the crew can actually thrive."
"They don't just teach you to shoot — they teach the business behind it. I walked out with a clear blueprint to monetize my skills immediately."
"The studio is exactly what Calgary creators needed — a real podcast room you can just book and use. Sound, lighting, all handled."
Platforms, brands, funders, crew — if the format excites you, we want to hear from you. We reply the same day.
