Oy Marichka! a feature film to be filmed in and around Edmonton is the latest project by Edmonton native and award-winning writer/director Darcia Parada. While romance, hockey and second chances are featured within the film at its heart it is a love story inspired by Parada’s roots and a tribute to her ancestry. Her Ukrainian Grandparents settled in Canada where they made a new home for themselves due to hardships faced in their homeland. All post production will be completed in Ukraine.
