Oliver De Caigny, born in Ghent, Belgium in '83, has his fingerprints all over some pretty eclectic film projects. The dude’s got a knack for picking stories that don’t just sit quietly in the background. He’s most recognized for his work on R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour, which, let’s be real, has freaked out more kids (and adults) than anyone’s willing to admit. The series has this eerie, can’t-look-away quality, and Oliver played a big part in making sure every episode nailed that balance between creepy and fun. Jumping back a couple years, he produced Odysseus & the Isle of Mists. Now, that’s a wild ride—think classic Greek myths but with an extra dose of monsters and magic. It’s not your grandma’s tale of Odysseus, that’s for sure. The movie goes heavy on adventure, tossing the hero and his crew into supernatural chaos, and Oliver’s production style really leans into that larger-than-life vibe. And then there’s Battle in Seattle, a film totally different from his fantasy stuff. This one dives into the chaos of real-world protests, specifically the 1999 WTO riots. It’s gritty, messy, and doesn’t pull any punches about how intense those days were. Oliver’s approach here is more grounded, letting the raw energy of the story come through while still keeping things cinematic. Altogether, his work jumps between genres, but he always brings this sense of urgency and atmosphere that makes his projects stand out in a crowded field.
Vancouver, BC, Canada—man, this city pops up in more movies than you’d think. It’s got that moody weather, those glassy buildings, and somehow it can pass for everything from New York to some random futuristic town. You ever notice how many big-budget superhero flicks shoot here? Deadpool, X-Men, even a chunk of Twilight. It’s like Hollywood North, seriously. Crews love it because the city hands out tax breaks like candy and the mountains give every chase scene a killer backdrop. Plus, it’s not just the skyline—Stanley Park, Gastown, all those rainy alleys, they show up in thrillers, rom-coms, you name it. Sometimes you’ll spot the same street in three different movies and barely recognize it. Vancouver’s kinda like a chameleon—never quite itself, always slipping into new roles. Makes you wonder how many times you’ve seen it without even realizing.
