"In Sydney, Nova Scotia, several local businessmen had financed the establishment of the Maritime Motion Picture Company of Canada in March 1920. 'A Ten Day's Trip Through New Brunswick' and 'Port au Basque' travelogues photographed by H.B. McNeil, were the company's first productions in 1921. Their first dramatic feature, 'Big Timber' (later retitled 'Clansmen of the North') was directed by American John W. Noble and starred Richard C. Travers but was never released. The company was dissolved in 1924" - Embattled Shadows: A History of Canadian Cinema, 1895-1939
