Portal Films

Background
Portal Films was a joint venture between Dandy Films and producer Richard Barton Lewis, created to produce films shot in Canada while being able to qualify for financial support through Canadian tax incentives. The partnership occurred due to a prior contact, Lloyd A. Simandl of North American Pictures, relocating to Czechoslovakia. The company would slowly expand to producing animated content after acquiring the Montreal-based Advantage Digital, rebranding it under the Portal name. Dandy would relocate to the United Kingdom and handle future productions there exclusively, leading to the venture folding in 2002.
