About

Meet the Team

We’re humble and still love what we do. Based out of Winnipeg, Canada, close to the middle of our country, we’re grounded in the will and resilience that comes from living here. There’s beauty in simplicity. We’re rooted in the ideals of great concepts with skilled execution. As filmmakers, our goal is to always reach for the next level with each production.

We love to explore new places and meet amazing people and we’re looking forward to working with you to help tell your story.

We’ve had the good fortune to work with great organizations like Habitat for Humanity, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and The Dufresne Group. We’ve also worked on documentaries and contributed to shows on CBC, APTN, Smithsonian Channel, Bloomberg TV and MTS. In all honesty, it’s an exciting time for us as we continue to grow and work on bigger and better things.

We love to explore new places and meet amazing people along our journey and we’re looking forward to working with you to help tell your story.

Andrew Wiens

Creative Director

Andrew’s creative spirit and DIY attitude has lead to some wild adventures. As a producer, writer, director, and camera operator, he was part of the award-winning team behind the documentary series ‘Going Native,’ which spanned four countries and three seasons for 39 episodes. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in the adventure series ‘Nation Untamed,’ which saw him traverse rugged terrains, from chasing mountain lions in Colorado to tracking caribou in the Arctic and bighorn sheep in Yukon.

Beyond filmmaking, Andrew is a longtime musician and guitar player. He has recorded albums, toured North America, and continues to play and record music. His creative drive and collaborative spirit are evident in both his musical and filmmaking endeavours.

Andrew carries a unique blend of strength and physical toughness with empathy and deep emotionality, which enriches his storytelling and connects audiences to the heart of his subjects.

Oh, and he loves dogs.
