We teamed up with Diamond Marketing this summer to travel across Canada and tell financial stories about mortgages, small businesses and buying a home. We worked with influencers to share how their financial beliefs differ from those of their parents. It was fun to see the range of stories! We had a small but mighty team, where we shot 2-4 scripts per day. Enjoy!
We’re extremely proud and passionate about our latest work for the Canadian Cancer Society in collaboration with The Mark. This project was a true labour of love. Love for what we do and for who we get to support while doing it. Cancer care needs to get better in Canada.
New work with Diamond Marketing and TD Insurance. Cats, Walnuts, what’s not to love!? Thanks to our small but mighty crew for making this happen.
Today, our film ‘It Can Be Anything’ was recognized by Creative Review, a global creativity award show (est. 1980) that celebrates the very best in creative thinking. One of the most respected and trusted awards for the commercial creative industries, it demonstrates the vital role that creativity plays for driving innovation and growth. Our film received an honourable mention for Advertising and Craft for its effectiveness in launching art workshops for the intellectually disabled. We can't even begin to explain how excited and grateful we are to have our film sit next to other award winning work from brands such as Facebook, Burberry, and Amazon to name a few. We didn't have millions of dollars or a massive team behind us, but rather, the voice of Rachel Doucette and passionate, empathetic supporters that believed in what we were trying to do, and helped us make that dream a reality. Today is a good day! Thank you to our friends, family, collaborators and generous donors who share this award with us.

We teamed up with Public Inc. and Hudson’s Bay to launch their “Charter for Change” campaign. Hudson’s Bay is investing 30 million over 10 years to advance racial equity in Canada. This is an important subject and something we are very proud to help promote. We need change in Canada and it’s great to see corporations like HB get behind it.
We’re so incredibly proud to release our short film to the world. This has been a year in the making!
Rachel has an intellectual disability and has been an artist for over 8 years. She loves to draw and create. The images, shapes and feelings you embody when looking at her work is truly special. While she has a hard time communicating verbally, her art has a way of connecting with people and communicating on a whole other level.
The film is an inter-dimensional journey of creativity through the lens of Rachel’s drawings. Her work represents a unique and vast creative landscape to explore. More importantly, her philosophical outlook establishes an open-mindedness and inclusivity that is both beautiful and inspiring. Our intention was to leverage that outlook and use her phrase "It Can Be Anything" as a mantra to steer us through her journey.

At the end of last year we were tasked with telling grassroots stories of Special Olympics athletes. With a small but mighty team, we captured the lives of 4 special people and how they are staying active throughout the pandemic. We were so inspired by everyone we spoke to and are incredibly please with the results. We hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed creating this short documentary film!
