Montreal, June 2, 2003 – Filming wraps in early June on Tornado Alley, a new Cineflix co-production about tornado chasers in the southern and mid-western United States.

Chantal Bowen is series producer for Canada. A Canada-UK co-production, Tornado Alley is produced by Cineflix in association with Pioneer Productions, with the financial participation of the Travel Channel, Discovery Canada, Canal D, Channel 4, The Quebec Film and Television Tax Credit Administered by SODEC and the Canadian Film or Video Tax Credit.
