Blue Lobster Tales

Blue Lobster Tales Award winning independent filmmaking company based in Canada. Hi there! We’re Lauren and Alex, the creators behind Blue Lobster Tales. New videos out Fridays!

And we’re here to bring history to life! Blue Lobster, our sailboat and namesake, is how we will explore long-forgotten people, places and things. And we’ll bring you this history in creative ways – filming every step of the way. Our goal is to bridge the gap between academics and fast history, to engage in accessible, in-depth, analytical history. Over the next few years, we will sail Atlantic Canada (learning along the way), exploring this region through the lens of the Age of Sail, a period very much neglected. Visit our Projects page (on our website) to learn more about what we are up to next! And come along for the ride!

Richard Propes- "Vacation Plantation becomes particularly enlightening through the presence of Jo Banner and Joseph McGill. This is particularly true as the film begins to wind down, and these two have established themselves as well-informed, well-reasoned human beings who are acutely aware that racism is alive and well in America (NOTE: as a person with lifelong disability, I'd personally argue that slavery is alive in the United States to this day just expressed differently)."

UK Film Review - Vacation Plantation!

"The film presents a perfect irony in the shape of a tourist plantation."

"The documentary excellently highlights the issues posed by plantations being used as tourist attractions and the way this contributes to a whitewashed version of history, honouring a traumatic past. These plantations and their twisted history, through ignorance towards the black community, made these landmarks into spaces characterised by whiteness and ‘southern hospitality’ rather than the racial violence which built them."

Vacation Plantation film review by UK film critic Holly Baker. Starring Jo Banner, Raymond Berthelot, Lauren Cudmore directed by Alex Bezeau.

Film Threat just reviewed Vacation Plantation: "Vacation Plantation is required viewing. Whether you consider it to be 'woke' White guilt, or you are aware of the persistent failings of racial justice in the U.S., this film provides critical context of the origin of Southern wealth and the traumatic lives of enslaved people on the plantations."

10/10!

to The Fortress of Louisbourg's Best Kept Secret

The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia is a staple of any guide to 18th Century, Colonial North America. Here we saw the French and British fight for control of this site. Louisbourg the key to control over North America. The Fortress eventually succumbing to this power struggle, destroyed during the Seven Years' War. And, while it is known for a lot of things (its impressive reconstruction, its environment, its destruction, among others), we are going to talk about its often overlooked, but critical attribute - Louisbourg's harbour! Because this is where the real seat of power lay; a small protected harbour in the North Atlantic, which could make or break the struggle for control of North America.
