Ian & Ben or Ben & Ian, either way …
We are your production partners, here to bring your visions to life.
As seasoned cinematographers, studio owners, and constant edit tinkerers, we blend our production skills, access to the right technology, and the keys to our studios to empower creative partners with cost-effective solutions, unique to us.
Our approach allows us to bundle these essential services, ensuring not just savings but an integrated, hassle-free experience for our partners.
Our Films
Our best work is human centric. Although we do appreciate a great close up of sparks flying on an assembly line, the stories we love to tell get to the core of our human experience.
Our method has evolved considerably in the 15 years we’ve been working.
Today we look for opportunities to work with nimble, multifaceted teams of like minded storytellers, reducing the resources needed to make a film, and empowering the select few involved to tell beautiful stories.
It’s amazing what we can achieve with just a bit of gear in the right people’s hands.
Our Studio
We own and operate a brick-and-mortar space called Fieldwork inside a heritage factory building in downtown Toronto. Bathed in gorgeous daylight, the aesthetically furnished production spaces make up our dream studio. Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to shorten the distance between a new idea and a great film
Our Equipment
We’ve built a toolbox that offers exactly what we need to make meaningful work.
Having the right tools for the job goes beyond the fanciest cameras (which, also yes we have.) It means having equipment that allows us to work efficiently, sculpting beautiful images that evoke feeling.
Investing and continually fine-tuning our production package lowers the barrier to high-quality films, ensuring the right tools can come out on every project, regardless of budget.
From concept to delivery, we are dedicated to crafting compelling narratives that really hit home. It’s worth saying it out loud:
We love this stuff,
it’s pretty much all we think about,
and the results can be seen in our authentic approach to visual storytelling.
