Project Highlights
The story
When a contaminated U.S. shipment turns a trucker into a shape-shifting monster during a blizzard, stranded Canadians must survive the night in a remote diner. A contained creature live action feature with...
- Practical effects-driven horror
- Paranoia-fueled tension
- Dark humor
- Slight political undertones
Elevator Pitch
Snowbound is The thing meets 30 days of night, with a Canadian twist.
- Genre: Contained creature horror (The Thing meets 30 Days of Night)
- Setting: Snowbound Canadian diner under siege
- Hook: Face-stealing mutant vs. trapped civilians in Canada
- Ready for Canadian co-production incentives
Key Investor Takeaway: Why SNOWBOUND is a Uniquely Safe Bet
Horror's ROI is Unmatched
- Films like The Descent (10x returns) and The Babadook (5x) prove low-budget creature features deliver outsized profits
- Even "flops" (The Ritual) become streaming goldmines
We're Targeting a Proven Void
- Zero snowbound horror hits since 30 Days of Night (2007)
- No Canadian creature features in this budget range – we own this lane
Financial Safeguards Built In
- Canadian tax credits slash 35% off budget
- Single location = no costly location shoots
About Gabriel Caron
Gabriel Caron
Entrepreneur, Storyteller, Actor & Creative Innovator
A lifelong entrepreneur, I’ve built and sold a construction company, flipped houses, and trained in internal martial arts in a mythical mountain in China—teaching both in person and online. But through it all, I’ve always been writing scripts.
Frustrated with the state of storytelling, I wrote a full-length film and adapted it into a fiction podcast, testing the market with limited resources. That experience hooked me—I could see the actors bringing my words to life. After being called "an actor" during a voiceover session for Disney and Cirque du Soleil, I trained to become one, booking lead roles in indie films and pitches and slowly building TV appearances.
Now, I merge my entrepreneurial mindset with storytelling—treating creative projects like startups. I build assets, test hypotheses, and craft minimum viable products (like what you see here). With evolving technology, I’m passionate about leveraging new tools to democratize storytelling.
Leader. Question-asker. Creator.
