}} ProductionThe film was one the first narrative feature films produced in English by a Canadian film production company. The company was Dominion Productions Limited. Director Sterling Campbell was a partner in the company along with the film's producer Larry Cromien and star, Austin Willis and Geoffrey Wood.[6] The main backer was Wood, founder of G. H. Wood & Co., a sanitation supply company that bore the motto "Sanitation for the Nation." He invested $160,000 in the film.[7] Bush Pilot was meant to be the first of six films.[7]The movie was one of the first features to be shot in Toronto, Ontario, with studio work done at Queensway Studios. Outdoor and flight sequences filmed in the Muskoka region of Ontario, particularly Lake Rosseau.[4] ReceptionAlthough J. Arthur Rank owned Queensway Studios, he did not pick up the film for distribution in his cinema chains.[8] The movie was not a box office success and Dominion films never made another film.[6] ""I got pretty enthusiastic about all that film nonsense," Wood recalled in 1987. "But I didn't know what was going on. I knew as much about the movies as those movie people knew about sanitation."[7] RestorationWood deposited a nitrate negative of the film with the National Archives in 1972.[7] Although long out of print, the film was restored by the National Archives of Canada and The Movie Network in the 1990s,[4] and was screened on the Movie Network as a special Canada Day broadcast in 1998.[4] According to the Globe and Mail, "despite the hoary stereotypes and predictable plot, Bush Pilot was, to its credit, far ahead of its time in its unashamed use of specifically Canadian references."[9] The Toronto Star called it "a camp curio today, an unintended hoot."[10] References1. ^Bush pilot.
