Description
Lynx Images Inc. is an integrated documentary film production company, book publisher, and distributor, with a reputation for excellence. Since the company's inception in 1988, it has created adventurous historical programs that are journeys of discovery. Partners Barbara Chisholm, Andrea Gutsche, and Russell Floren seek out intriguing people and stories, and explore the remnants history has left behind. The company is currently applying its historical exploration approach to projects of more international scope. Its award-winning films air on History Television, CBC, CTV, SCN, and TVO, and a number of accompanying books are Canadian bestsellers.
Russell began his career producing dramatic and nature films, and distributing to the non-theatrical market, and has moved on to focus on producing historical documentaries. Combining his production and distribution experience, Floren innovated in 1994 by expanding beyond the broadcast market, and developing new distribution channels for documentaries. He graduated in film from Ryerson Polytechnical University, and has worked television and radio since the mid-1980s.
