Trickfilm Entertainment Inc.

Trickfilm Entertainment Inc. is a British Columbia software company whose work has evolved from real-time animation distribution into property technology and professional education. Founded in 2019, the company now develops platforms for BC strata councils, property managers and candidates preparing for professional licensing examinations. Its current products apply software development and platform capabilities originally developed for digital entertainment to governance, meeting administration and structured learning.

Current software platforms

StrataCouncil.ca combines council training, a reference library and tools for administering strata meetings. Its Meeting Mode supports voting and minutes documentation, while document archiving helps organize corporation records. The platform also incorporates Stratasphere™, an AI assistant designed to answer questions using BC strata law and historical corporation records.

StrataReady.ca supports candidates preparing for the British Columbia Strata Management Licensing Examination. It offers timed practice examinations, more than 670 scenario-based questions, explanations of incorrect answer choices and legislative study references. Skills mapping helps connect practice questions with the knowledge areas candidates need to study. Together, the two products address both professional preparation and the practical administration of strata corporations.

Origins in interactive animation

Between 2020 and 2023, Trickfilm concentrated on a proprietary real-time animation streaming platform using Unreal Engine, cloud computing and interactive digital collectibles. The platform sought to adapt video game production workflows and revenue models to animated entertainment, allowing creators to distribute interactive content and build direct audience relationships outside traditional licensing arrangements.

The company's animation-era activities extended beyond streaming into creator monetization, crowdfunding and virtual festival broadcasting. It launched the animation crowdfunding platform Trickfunder in June 2023 and organized a Real-Time Animation Festival that year around filmmaking with Unreal Engine.

Following 2023, Trickfilm redirected its engineering and platform development toward strata governance and educational software. Its current business continues under the same corporate identity and official website, while its animation technology work remains an important part of the company's history.
