Currently his crew is working on 'The Assassination of Jesse James', starring Brad Pitt, Daughters of Joy with Robert Duvall and The Ron Clark Story, featuring Matthew Perry — to name just a few.

“This is the busiest month in the history of our business. There is a surge this month for sure — everybody in Alberta is busy. People are doing positions that they are hardly trained for,” he says.

To add to that, Munro’s new project Paydirt, a documentary on the Alberta oil sands, premiered in Calgary Sept. 29.

He is also being honoured today with the Alberta Motion Picture Industries Association David Billington Award.

“It was really unexpected,” he says. “I mean, ‘Are you sure you got the right guy? I haven’t done that much.’ ”

Congratulations to Mr. Munro for his work and achievements!
