Navigating Through the Majestic Terrains of Eastern Québec, Labrador and Newfoundland For Fay Archives

Embark on a cinematic journey with Films.Solutions through the magnificent landscapes of Eastern Quebec, Labrador and Newfoundland, capturing the beauty of Canada’s great outdoors and the people who live there, all through our lenses for Fay.

Last summer, the Films.Solutions team had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Fay, a clothing brand synonymous with classic and contemporary fashion. Our mission was to support the Fay team and film 5 video vignettes for the brand, set against the backdrop of Canada’s great landscapes, translating the spirit of the Fay collection through a series of videos filmed in the heart of Eastern Quebec and Labrador.

Over two exhilarating weeks, our team ventured into the great forests and iron mines of Quebec and Labrador, as well as the coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland, ensuring that the spirit of the Fay collection was beautifully reflected in Canada’s splendid landscapes.
