Our Festivals

We produce Our Ocean Film Fest and Our Earth Film Festival because we believe storytelling has the power to shift culture. Our dream is to create meaningful spaces where film, community, and action come together to deepen our connection to the ocean and the planet. Through powerful documentaries and conversations, we aim to inspire environmental awareness, celebrate local and global changemakers, and spark practical steps toward sustainability. At the same time, we are committed to strengthening community ties, including meaningful engagement with film students, and emerging creators, helping build the next generation of storytellers who care deeply about protecting our natural world.

ABOUT US

We are a team with more than 30 years of experience producing events, film festivals, and creative projects across the entertainment and cultural sectors.

Our roots are deeply connected to the film industry, but our passion has always extended beyond the screen into the environmental issues shaping our planet. Bringing these two worlds together, we created a platform in Canada dedicated to celebrating powerful storytelling, inspiring community, and championing the protection of our natural world.
