The Last Delivery
Psychological thriller, a Lucy Original. The source of the vertical demo — written, shot and delivered by this crew.
Released
ICAN Film is a working production company running Alberta's first dedicated vertical drama unit — studio, gear and crew in-house, built for the format's pace: lean teams, tight scripts, a full series shot in days, not months.
Studio + gear owned, not rented · Vancouver-quality crews at Alberta cost · union-compliant structures on request
Vertical demo — cut from The Last Delivery, an ICAN original production
Micro-drama is its own grammar — a hook in the first thirty seconds, a cliffhanger every episode, a paywall that has to earn the tap. We build for that grammar from the script breakdown up.
7–10 days
One full series — 50 to 80 episodes — through production in under two weeks. Weeks of prep, not months.
$150–250K
The format's standard per-series budget — and Alberta locations, rates and owned infrastructure make it go further here.

Canadian vertical production runs through Vancouver and Toronto. Alberta is untouched — we're the first unit in.
Full-service production of your greenlit series: your script, your EP oversight, our crew, studio and locations — delivered finished, on your calendar, at Alberta cost. Union-compliant structures available.
Original Canadian-owned series unlock federal and provincial production funding that pure work-for-hire never touches — money that stretches a slate. We develop and produce; you distribute.
Every dollar of a vertical budget shows on screen or it doesn't. Owning the infrastructure is how a $150K series here looks like a $250K series somewhere else.
