Director: Michelle Kee
Production Designer: Bryan Eng
Facebook -  Twitter

Send Us Smokes tells the story of 7-year-old Adelaide as she embarks on a fantastical adventure to take cigarettes to her father serving in the trenches of WW1.

Send Us Smokes was the name of a real advertising campaign launched by Vancouver newspaper The Province during WWI, urging Canadians to support front line soldiers by sending cigarette packages.

Duties on set included cleaning and maintaining a dozen No1 MKIII Lee-Enfields, supervising their use, and providing realistic training regarding their employment on camera.
