production

DOING THE WORK

Look, no job is perfect. But some of them are pretty damn close. And our job—even more than creating incredibly moving and dynamic film content—is to help make everyone we work with find that almost-perfection in their day-to-day.

agency

A wise person knows the value of pulling in the experts (or something to that effect). Well, that’s us: production experts with an exclusive list of top directors and scores of independent talent. Our approach is to offer our production expertise and shepherd the production so you can keep your clients happy.

marketers

No matter the size of your project, no matter where you are in the process, we’re here to bring your idea to life. Our experience working with brands, with and without creative partners, means we’re flexible, collaborative, and ready to deliver some excellent work, directly for the brands that need it.

foreign producers

Our vast production experience brings together world-class crews, equipment, and infrastructure in epic locations and modern cities across Canada. And let’s be real: though cost-efficient productions thanks to the solid Canadian dollar and no VAT or sales tax on international shoots is pretty great, you can’t beat our diverse talent pool and top-notch crews.

independent directors

Emerging or independent director? Have a project to produce? Need some support? We’re committed to supporting directors just like you with a wide variety of production needs. From access to vendor accounts, insurance, crew payments, accounting, and plain ol’ general advice, we can help.

Every project comes with surprises. The good kind, the exhilarating kind, and the kind that we look back on and think, 'holy shit, we really made that happen.'
HOW WE WORK

DOING THEWORK MEANS

We  Dream big and know how to get there
While a great road trip doesn’t always need a destination or a map, a great film production needs both. We’re adept at handling the small details and tasks while still keeping that jaw-dropping end result in mind.
we  build honest & trusted relationships
With our collaborative model, this truly is the pillar that everything else stands on. Not to get too sappy, but whether you’re a client, a director, or a crew member, you’re important to us, and we don’t take your input lightly.
we value your time and money
Let's face it, no one has enough of either to be able to waste it. For our clients, for our directors, and for everyone involved: we believe in efficiencies, working smart, knowing when we’ve got the shot.
we haven't faced a puzzle we can't SolvE
If humans can solve the Rosetta Stone, we can figure out how to make a snow scene in the middle of a Toronto heatwave. Whether it’s budgetary, logistical, or ‘creative differences’, we approach problem-solving with fervor.
we take our WORK SERIOUSLY but not ourselves.
At the end of the day, no matter how much we love what we do (and it’s a lot), we all shake it off. We go back to the things that matter: our family, our friends, and that Netflix series we’ve been binging.
