Executive producer, Western Unit
Table of Contents
The Western Documentary Unit has offices in both Vancouver and Edmonton. We produce and co-produce documentary films in all lengths and formats. We strive to produce work at the highest level, and to ensure diversity of voice, stories, and styles. The filmmakers we work with are as diverse as the places they come from, and represent a combination of emerging, mid-career and established creators. Their one shared goal: to make creative, engaging, relevant work with unique points of view.
Our unit has approximately 15-18 projects underway at any given time: from early development to production to post-production and release. Our projects are evergreen and look to reflect Canada back to Canadians. We are interested in documentaries that are strongly linked to their creators and are fueled by stories from our region, which includes British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Our projects embrace point-of-view storytelling best captured in the answer to the following three questions: Why you? Why now? Why this story?
