Our Philosophy
Film Production, Script Development, Film Distribution
Based In
Calgary, Alberta
In early 2014 our founder Wes Beiko had a dream to change the media production world, he wanted to help small businesses & youth film makers by offering low cost marketing & production, this provided an avenue for upcoming actors to get paid work in short films and commercials. To date Wes has worked on 16 short films, many produced by local writers and actors.
When we opened our doors in Okotoks Alberta, in September of 2014, we worked almost exclusively with charities like: The Owen Hart Foundation, Literacy For Life, For The Love Of Children Society, Womens Skilled Development Project and many more. Our goal was to provide high quality, but lower cost services to them so the majority of their funds went towards helping the most vulnerable around the world. This is still one of our core values.
Today every corporate project we do, a portion of those sales goes towards providing low cost production for charities or providing paid opportunities for upcoming actors, writers and directors.
Directing A Film Festival
In 2016 Wes stepped into the role of Festival Co-Director for ZOOOM Student Film Festival. This festival was made possible by the Okotoks Arts Council. After participating in the ZOOOM Student Film Festival as a high school student, I returned to help lead the festival as Co-Director. The festival provided a platform for emerging youth filmmakers (ages 10–18), awarding bursaries and recognition to outstanding projects while encouraging creative growth in the community. The 2016 edition provided the largest bursaries in the festivals history, reiterating Wes's mission to support fellow filmmakers.
Our First Feature
In 2020 we began production on our largest and first feature film, "The Compassionate One". This took production members of the film to Kenya, Peru, Afghanistan, Nepal, Cambodia, India, Egypt, Lebanon and more.
Our team was heavily involved in all aspects of this production, from initial screenplays, financing, on location filming, post production, theatre sound mixing and distribution.
As the landscape of cinema changes in favor of streaming, we strive to support traditional theatres. Going to a theatre is more than just an experience, its a feeling, its being in the passenger seat of the film, not just watching it on a screen. Theaters aren't just reserved for only Hollywood movies. We have relationships with 2 of Canada's largest theatre chains and can help other creatives with getting their films on the big screen.
This doesn't mean that some projects aren't best to go straight to digital. We do release smaller form projects directly to digital and continue to make web content.
