At first blush, this task seemed pretty simple. Arrange for the shipment of a dummy created to look just like a real person from Australia to a film set in Canada. Where the shipment started to go off the rails was when we learned that included in the ‘coffin’ was a small packet of gelatine granules. Unless you were familiar with the myriad of agencies and regulators involved in international logistics you might not know that gelatine in its raw form is an animal product and could be considered a food product. This shipment would require clearance from the Canada Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Not such a big deal until you realize that the product arrived on a Friday and was needed for the shoot on Saturday. Get a government agency to work a weekend? We did it. All the necessary docs were completed and our dummy was delivered just in time to be blown up!
