Hamilton Economic Development - Attracting Creative Industries to Hamilton

Hamilton's Economic Development Office launched an innovative marketing piece today never before attempted in the office's history. The "Commuting Nightmare"- as it is known- is an animated short designed to market Hamilton as a viable live/work choice to those on the endless commute to Toronto. "We certainly are aware of the great growth in the creative industries and we have a very unique vehicle now to sell our collective creative spaces", said Glen Norton, Manager, Urban Renewal with the City of Hamilton's Economic Development Office. "Get your life back, wake up from that commuting nightmare is our message through this cartoon."

The cartoon was produced by Chuck Gammage Animation, a recent creative industry addition to the James Street North arts district via Toronto and boasts clients such as Coca Cola, Old Navy, and Teletoon. The score was produced by Nathan Fleet, an award winning Hamilton filmmaker and film composer with screenings and broadcasts worldwide. His new music company, Blue Pick Media, was named after his trademark blue guitar pick business cards. As the director of the Hamilton Film Festival, board member of the Factory Media Centre and sitting on the Cinema Hamilton committee, he is helping to grow, enhance and connect the filmmaking community in Hamilton.
