Welcome to Tar City
Tar City is an independent production company based out of Sydney, Nova Scotia, founded by Fritz Bishop and Kenzie Cameron. Since it's conception in 2016, Tar City has produced shorts, podcasts, documentaries, stage plays, film contests, and two full length films.

Members volunteer their time, knowledge, and expertise to collaboratively create art projects for local distribution. Tar City’s primary concern is the creative expression of artists from a wide range of disciplines within the community, while providing members the opportunity to learn technical skills in artistic fields of interest through hands-on involvement in a non-union, collaborative environment.

Tar City continues to operate out of an apartment rented by Fritz Bishop which is known to members as "The Tar Box". Tar City's office and base of operation is designated to a spare room in the apartment, known as "The Stress Factory". The Tar Box was also home to Johnny Hobo, who inspired the concept of the "Hoboverse" and has appeared in Bigsby and Grim.
