Beanduck Productions Video Production & Performer Services (self-tapes, video & voice demos, headshots, workshops)

An independent video production company from Montreal, Canada, Beanduck was founded by director Julian Stamboulieh and producer Benjamin Warner. Following up on the critical and creative success that was the web series LARPs (a collaboration with writer Jon Verrall and housed on Felicia Day's Geek & Sundry, a part of Legendary's Digital Network), we will be releasing short films in a variety of styles to our audience, in hopes that we can continue to grow as artists and entertainers.

Love the Sinner is a hard-hitting dramatic two-hander with absurdist elements following the joint unraveling of high school sweethearts Lenna (devout Catholic) and Elle (shy stoner) when Elle comes out as trans. It explores religious indoctrination, the nuance of teen love, and the abuse that unheal...

SCENE STUDY w/ ERIC DAVIS & JULIAN STAMBOULIEH

Watching this legendary scene from Pulp Fiction interpreted by Nichita Ghiduleanov and Roumy was so much fun and very rewarding. Here's an excerpt from that scene.

On the final day of our workshops, we pull out the fancy camera so that actors can apply all the growth over the sessions into a scene that can be properly used to showcase their talent.

We've gotten so many compliments on the 90s style trailer. Any Montrealers recognize the voice? It's none-other than the legend David Tyler himself of Mix 96 / Q92 fame (aaaah my childhood...). His voice is still heard on TV, radio and trailer adds around the world. We were thrilled to have him lend his boo-tiful gift to our project.

Cannot...contain...hype...

Welcome to COMEDIUM, a new web series by Beanduck Productions.

- Logline -
"When an ambitious comedian discovers she sees dead people, a ruthless talent agent from beyond the grave offers to boost her career – but she'll only earn stardom if she faces her greatest fear: she’ll need to help others in order to help herself."

Co-created by Holly Brace Lavoie & Tranna Wintour, the project concept was a recipient of the Wip Web Series development grant, with which the team has been creating extensive pitch materials, including a proof-of-concept trailer coming out early September.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the show’s trailer launch, behind-the-scenes information and important dates.

Maybe this will bring some sunshine: registration is now open for the next round of SCENE STUDY (Adult) classes!

As actors, many elements of the industry are out of our control. How can we stay proactive? By keeping our demo materials up to date, sharpening our performing skills, and ensuring we never lose our sense of play.

SCENE STUDY was crafted to help actors dive deep into a variety of material, connect with other performers, and explore roles for which they’re not typically seen.

This recurring scene study class, run by respected professionals working in the industry, will help keep actors on their toes and ready for their next audition.

When?
April 22nd-May 13th
Weekly classes on Saturdays (4 in total). Choice of morning or afternoon!

OUR STORY

An independent video production company from Montreal, Canada, Beanduck was founded in 2012 by director Julian Stamboulieh and producer Benjamin Warner.

Shortly after Beanduck’s inception, the company received great critical and creative acclaim with the web series LARPs - a collaboration with writer Jon Verrall and housed on Felicia Day's Geek & Sundry, a part of Legendary's Digital Network.

Fan integration and engagement is at the core of Beanduck’s mandate. The success of LARPs demonstrated the importance of not simply telling a story to a community, but with a community.

The company excels at producing content with a geek flair, using creative and innovative platforms to reach audiences. A Beanduck production taps into a network of talented Montreal artists and creators to tell stories with humour, heart and ingenuity.
