Circle of Steel

FEATURE FILM

Amidst Alberta’s oil and gas crash of 2015, chemical engineer Wendy Lee (Chantelle Han) is new to Paloma Energy Inc. and unsure of the future she worked so hard for. As rumors of layoffs begin to circulate in her small, isolated team, her monotonous routine crumbles, giving way to ambivalence. Long days in the field and long nights alone begin to take their toll. With support, and often-questionable guidance from her coworkers, Wendy must navigate personal ethics and corporate interest within Canada’s most controversial industry.
