History
Missing Piece Productions was founded in 1988 by Chris Zimmer and Lulu Keating. It was created in order to form a company independent of Keating's Red Snapper Films Ltd. and Zimmer's Imagex Ltd. to produce the feature film "The Midday Sun". This separate entity was established primarily for two reasons: to receive investment revenue to facilitate the production of "The Midday Sun"; and, to repay investors for taxation purposes (in compliance with Telefilm Canada regulations). The name, Missing Piece Productions, alluded to the indispensable final chunk of financing which seemed to elude the filmmakers during this project. Eventually $2.3 million dollars was raised from a variety of sources, both public and private, so that the first Canadian feature-length film shot on location in Africa could be made. Missing Piece Productions was disbanded in 1992, having accomplished the objectives for which it was created.
