Everything here is public information, kept current by the ICAN team. Canonical site: https://icanfilm.com ## The companies - **ICAN Film Inc.** — physical production: vertical micro-drama series, feature films, short films, commercial and event videography, plus a four-room production studio (podcast room, green-screen stage, interview set, social-production set) at Unit 620, 5920 Macleod Trail SW, Calgary, Alberta T2H 0K2, bookable by the hour. - **Lucy TV Inc.** — the streaming service and the platform behind it. Original films and series, independent cinema, and live TV. **Surfaces carrying traffic today: the web (https://lucytv.ca), iPhone, Android and Android TV, plus the operator console the team runs it from. Apple TV is in build. Roku and Fire TV are not built.** Filmmaker-first distribution: filmmakers keep 70% of revenue and their rights. The same platform is licensed to other operators — see the white-label section below. ## What ICAN is building (2026) - **Vertical micro-dramas** — minute-long episodes shot 9:16 for phones, 50–80 episodes per series, shot in 7–10 days. ICAN is establishing Calgary's first dedicated vertical drama studio and is recruiting founding-team talent (directors, production, writers, editors, marketing, business strategy) — applications at https://icanfilm.com/join. The global micro-drama format is projected at ~$14B (2026). - **Notable work** — "The Last Delivery" (psychological thriller feature, a Lucy Original, streaming on Lucy TV); "Alberto" (short film, in production). ## Licensing the Lucy TV platform (B2B) Lucy TV Inc. licenses the streaming platform it built and operates to other companies, rebranded as theirs. This is a separate business line from the consumer service. - **What is licensed** — the running stack: catalogue and playback, subscriptions and billing, the operator console, and the client apps. Surfaces carrying production traffic today are web, the operator console, Android, iPhone and Android TV. Apple TV is in build. Roku is a separate build and is quoted per project. - **Two ways to buy** — hosted (Lucy TV runs it under the client's brand, from about $18,000 to set up plus monthly, no source code changes hands), or a non-exclusive perpetual **source-code licence** (full codebase for every surface, rebranded and documented, from about $60,000 once, with sixty days of handover support). - **Exclusivity** — available by territory or by vertical only. Never worldwide, and never the Lucy TV brand or catalogue. - **Who it suits** — operators launching a streaming service, broadcasters and diaspora networks, faith and education networks, micro-drama platforms, and anyone leaving a platform that is shutting down or repricing. - Details and enquiry form: https://icanfilm.com/platform ## Workshops **Open for enrolment now: Social Media Content Creation** — a live, in-person cohort at the Calgary studio. 6 classes across 3 weekends, starting Saturday 15 August 2026 (Aug 15/16, 22/23, 29/30). **$379 CAD, GST included**, paid by card through Stripe at https://icanfilm.com/academy#enrol — content strategy, shooting and editing on a phone, a paid Meta Ads campaign run on a real account, and how to charge for the work.

Partnership and casting inquiries go through the contact form with the matching intent (vertical partnership, join the team, book the studio, workshops, Lucy TV). Founding-team applications have a dedicated page: https://icanfilm.com/join.
