Our Mission
Snapshot Studios strives to touch hearts and minds, build trust with our subjects and clients, and invest in the wellbeing of our community.
Snapshot is proud to collaborate with some of the brightest creative minds in Canadian cinema.
Snapshot Studios always loves seeing other creator’s visions come to life.
Alongside our own projects, our team provides production support, management and general cheerleading for a bevy of other creators.
Recent collaborations include providing production management services for Hidden Story Productions media installation at Fort Edmonton’s Indigenous Peoples Experience, and providing mentorship and consultation to TELUS’ STORYHIVE creators.
In everything we do, we aim to be honest to ourselves, our audiences and the people we work with. The stories we tell always stem from the truth and revolve around digging deep, finding the heart and meaning behind it.
We are a company serving a social agenda without judgement, pursuing activism through human connection. Inclusion is a huge part of our films as well as our process – making everyone we work with feel safe and confident their true voice will be heard is a priority at Snapshot.
Creating work with others in the industry is crucial to our process. Our best work comes from collaborating with others, learning about others’ processes and seeing things from different points of view. Interested in
