Virginia Cowan Dennis

Producer

In 2017 Virginia paired with Rogers TV to create a 12 episode Live action series called Face paint and Fairy Tales. After a taste of producing this type of content, Virginia created Mabel Moon Productions in early 2021. With a focus on young audiences, MMP intends to create interesting, thoughtful new media for children.

In the spring of 2021, MMP shot 3 proof of concept episodes for a 3 x 26 live action/ animated series featuring Virginia’s face painting. This show concept is currently available for optioning, please contact Virginia at mabelmoonproductions@gmail.com for a full pitch package.

In partnership with MMP, Virginia and her husband Stephen built Simcoe County’s first boutique film studio featuring a 350 sq ft cyclorama wall. This versatile space is open for rentals and includes the cyc wall, a sound booth, and lighting equipment. Please visit Crossland Road Studios for more information and pictures of our unique space.

One of Virginia’s passions is as an award- winning face and body artist with her Children’s Entertainment company Mabel Moon. Over the last 10 years Virginia has been perfecting her skills and took her Halloween face painting to a new level in 2020 when she was hired on as a Key SFX MUA on the horror film Pray For Me. From bruising that aged, to cuts, gashes, open wounds, frothing mouths and puncture wounds, Virginia can provide a wide range of looks for your next film project as a (non-union) crew member.
