On Time & On Budget.
Eda Lishman, Creative & Development, has spent her life in Film; starting with her own advertising agency producing award-winning commercials and infomercials. This led to launching The Producers Limited to produce dramatic films – writing, directing and producing award-winning projects like The Wild Pony and Primo Baby. Her strength in sourcing, acquiring and creating projects make her invaluable in her role at Fetecine Filosophy Inc.
Nives Lever, Creative & Operations, has had a rousing career in Film and Television Production for over 30 years. Considered one of the top Production Managers/Line Producers in Canada prior to the natural evolution to her role as a Producer and Executive Producer, she has an undeniable talent for systems, organization and financial acumen. Nives oversees company operations, and the development and production of all projects.
“We’re known for developing crew family-loyalty and seamless problem-solving. We don’t believe the drama should be in the making of the film – we prefer to leave it on the screen.”
We developed the name Fetecine Filosophy to express who we are and give a nod to our Italian heritage and sisterhood.

“Fete” means happy and “Cine” means film

Carrie Hunter has a decades long marketing career, beginning as a journalist with the Calgary Herald, moving on to writer/producer at CFCN CTV, Calgary and multiple contracts with film agencies that include the United Nations and the Vatican!
She defines her greatest accomplishment as being the founding President and CEO of the first Banff Television Festival – now the World Media Festival. In her 17-year tenure, she took it from a small, struggling event to what the BBC in London called: “the best in the world – always ahead of the others -the place to be!” Media futurist Les Brown called it “the Pulitzers of Television”.
She brings her passion for meaningful projects to everything she does.
Cheryl Dust was raised on a farm in Bruno, Saskatchewan, Cheryl was steeped in “the true grit of a strong work ethic”.
