Owner / Exec Director
My name is Hrachya Tokmajyan, I am an Armenian Canadian Writer and Director who tells stories of interpersonal and sociocultural struggle through the language of folktales and mythology. I believe that folktales and mythology have had and will continue to have a hand in shaping the future of humanity, our values of morality, relationships, and our collective subconscious. I take inspiration from soviet era arthouse films and contemporary elevated folk horror to craft stories that represent Armenian myths and folktales close to my heart.
I have written, directed, and produced multiple folktale like short films in the past, I am in development of my first feature length film, an Armenian Folk Horror project set to shoot in fall of 2025. My projects have been greenlit by granting programs like Calgary Arts Development & Alberta Foundation for the Arts and showcased in development labs like the 2024 Alberta Producer Accelerator Program (APA) and the 2024 Whistler Film Festival's Producer's Lab.
