What is a Fish Flight?

Imagine a 5 am plane departing from Vancouver every morning, laden with freshly-caught fish destined for eager Los Angeles restaurants before the sun rises. This was the legendary Fish Flight, the earliest direct connection from YVR to LAX. But it was more than just a flight; it was a symbol of our industry's pioneering spirit.

In the analog era of Hollywood North, before digital deliveries and lightning-fast transfer speeds, the Fish Flight carried more than just seafood. It transported the lifeblood of the Vancouver film industry: film reels filled with the latest footage, destined for the eyes of Hollywood executives. In those early days of VFX and animation, it was our lifeline, ferrying film-outs so supervisors and directors could provide feedback on the same day the footage was sent for review.

Today, Fish Flight Entertainment stands as a testament to that same spirit of innovation and dedication. Founded by Paul Furminger and Sabrina Furminger, our boutique studio rejects the 9 to 5 grind in favor of a passion-fueled existence. We're industry veterans with a diverse background spanning TV, film, and gaming. Now, we're laser-focused on gaming because we believe in the power of immersion and interactivity to shape the future of entertainment.

At Fish Flight Entertainment, we thrive on pushing boundaries and embracing the unknown. We're not afraid to jump off the cliff and build our wings on the way down. After all, who knows? That old fish with improvised wings may just soar.

As the parent company of YVR Screen Scene, a digital magazine and podcast celebrating the Vancouver film and television industry, Fish Flight Entertainment is deeply rooted in the heartbeat of our community.
