Greg

Tracey
Tracey has a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Toronto and co-founded Film Rescue International ® with Greg in 1999. She says dealing with really old film has its pros (visiting behind the scenes at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles) and cons (trying to pry open rusted film canisters). Getting a glimpse into the past and learning the stories attached to these film treasures is always interesting. Tracey volunteers at her local community-owned cinema and exhibits thespian tendencies.
Helen
Helen has a Diploma in Business and Finance and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Bedfordshire, England. Here at Film Rescue, Helen works in administration and puts her vast customer service experience, organizational skills and English accent to use every day. Away from the office, Helen is active in community volunteer organizations.
Cory
Cory attended film studies at the University of Regina prior to working at Film Rescue. When you call us with a question about transfers, Cory is the man with the answers. 8mm, 16mm, 9.5mm, video…. he really knows his stuff. Cory volunteers as a director for the local high school drama club and also “The Grand” theatre, our local community-owned cinema.
