Interesting facts

Canvas is a 2006 drama film written and directed by Joseph Greco about a Florida family dealing with a mother who has schizophrenia. The film premiered October 2006 at the Hamptons International Film Festival in New York. Greco said the film was inspired from his childhood experiences with a schizophrenic mother.

Production

Director Joseph Greco said, "The movie is certainly inspired by my mother, but I wouldn't say it's the exact same as my childhood. I didn't feel compelled to stick to the facts entirely. I would say it tells the emotional truth about my father and I coping the best we could." Joe Pantoliano served as a producer for the film and helped Greco to develop the idea.

During the film's third week of shooting on October 24, 2005, Hurricane Wilma made landfall in Florida and nearly shut down the production, but after waiting out the hurricane, cast and crew were able to persevere and complete the film.

The film was shot in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Miami, Florida, from October to November 2005.
