About Black Opiate Entertainment
Unusual stories.
Unforgettable voices.
Black Opiate Entertainment is a Vancouver-based production company focused on creating stylish, elevated genre feature films and true crime documentary series.
Our mission is to craft stories that captivate the imagination, engage audiences and push the boundaries of filmmaking in both fiction and nonfiction. We seek unusual stories that are sometimes dark but always entertaining, while amplifying strong female voices and diverse perspectives in front of and behind the camera.
We combine cutting-edge and retro film techniques and actively seek better ways to showcase our work domestically and internationally through eventized screenings, film festivals and partnerships with like-minded associations.
