Roughly 60% of Film was Shot in Merrickville Last Year!
Merrickville – The official movie trailer for “The Liberation Men” in which roughly 60% of the movie was shot in Merrickville last year has been released. A teaser trailer was released last November.
The movie, a Second World War drama primarily shot in Merrickville, depicts the Canadian military liberating a Dutch town. It was produced by Kolo Productions Inc. and Dancing Dutchman Films.
Filmed in May 2023, this is an indie budget film inspired by a true wartime story. The release of the film is scheduled for May 2024, in selected theatres during Dutch Liberation Week.
From IMDb “Canadian soldiers in Holland fight against German soldiers who refuse to surrender and they are in a race against the clock to save a town. Two soldiers must liberate a Dutch town held by 1,500 enemies before allied artillery shells start falling.”
The film was a collaboration between Kolo Productions Inc., a local independent company specializing in military films, and Dancing Dutchman Films from Toronto, with main photography concluding in the spring with some additional shoots that took place last fall.
Roughly 60% of the movie was filmed in Merrickville, and another 20% just north of Kemptville, with Merrickville’s scenic old buildings providing an ideal backdrop for the film’s historical setting.
It will be in select theatres this May sometime with more details to come.
