299 Queen Street West is a 2023 Canadian documentary film, directed, produced, and edited by Sean Menard.
The film chronicles the early history of MuchMusic, a music television channel headquartered at 299 Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The voices of VJs like Rick Campanelli, Sook-Yin Lee, Nam Kiwanuka, and George Stroumboulopoulos are featured in the film. Menard said, "I wanted to recreate the experience both for viewers who grew up with it and for those who have no clue what MuchMusic was. I wanted them to be immersed in that channel and the best way to do that is to live in the space and the world of the archives and not cut back and forth to on-camera interviews."[1]
