Entropy Films (Canada)

Background
Entropy Films was a film production company run by Linda Dunn, Ruth Dodd and Muriel Moore. Julia West would become a fourth partner in 1990 The company operated out of Oakville, Ontario. Initially formed to produce TV movies (under the name Dodd/Dunn/Moore until 1994), Entropy specialized in acting as a middleman for international co-productions in order to utilize their tax incentive programs. Many of their films were released straight-to-video at Blockbuster, save for their final film, which earned a limited theatrical release. Entropy also operated a gaming division and are perhaps best known for the social application/game Lunar Cove. Entropy went dormant, though still exist to manage servers on the game.
