Our backdrop fabric is used by the Toronto Film Industry & Theatre

Our backdrop fabrics both the white and the ecru muslin sheeting  are  used in the new Pinewood studio in Toronto. The new 15,000 sq ft sound stage is used for both big budget Hollywoord movies and television  shows for NBC Universal.
We are proud to be a part of this growing film industry in Toronto. There are other studios in the city Cinespace  currently filming Resident Evil. Toronto has succesfuly pursued the film industry with a special Film Commissioner with offices in city hall.
In the past our fabrics were found at both a the Shaw and Stratford Fesitvals. We did not know which production it was being used in but felt a sense  of pride with each sale. Pioneer Village has smaller theatrical production and they too have been long time loyal customers.
When they talk about spinoff benefits of the film industry in Nusso Textiles is among the beneficiaries of this municipal endeavor
Interestingly enough these big budget films watch each dollar spent, for that reason our low cost cheap backdrop fabric is being used locally and recommended to each other 
An aside they had a film shoot that was to take place out doors in a field. Toronto experienced a flash snow storm. there was snow on the ground in  April. , filming had to go on. They cleared the snow where they were filming, and bought our burlap to cover the background.and hide the snow.

The burlap jute was picked up in 3 taxis and transported to the film site.
Thank you Toronto Film Commissioner
