Interesting facts

Business Ethics is a 2019 Canadian dark comedy-tragedy drama film about a young, ambitious businessman who gradually loses his friends - and his soul - as he tries to keep his elaborate Ponzi scheme afloat with acts of fraud and deception. Directed by Nick Wernham, the film features Larenz Tate as main character Zachery Cranston, with Sarah Carter, Julian Richings, Lance Reddick and Kurtwood Smith. Gil Bellows, who starred in a short film adaptation of the same name, stars and executive produces. The film was released during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

Production

Business Ethics had originally been made as a short film under the same title, then adapted into a full-length feature film. It was announced in 2016 that Larenz Tate would star as Zachery Cranston, and shooting of the film began in October 2016 in Toronto, Ontario.

The film was produced by Sanzhar Sultan, Innis Lake Entertainment and Skylight Picture Works.

The film utilized mostly Ontario-based scenery for its backgrounds, while the colour purple was used as a reoccurring motif and symbol for ethical morality, appearing on Professor Wrightway's suit and as the color of the teddy bear plush that Veronica takes with her from her original job.
