Every company, community and crew is made of people who care about what they do. We take the time to listen, earn trust and find what actually matters, then we make the film.

Organizations we’ve worked with
Four steps, every time
- 01
Listen
We start with your people, not a script.
- What you bring
- Your goals, your audience and the people who know the work
- What you get
- A written definition of success and a story direction
What’s inside
A discovery conversation about vision, audience, message and tone, including language, culture and anything that should or shouldn’t be shown.
- 02
Earn trust
We take the time a story needs before the camera comes out.
- What you bring
- Introductions to the people involved, and site access
- What you get
- A shot plan, interview questions and a schedule that works around shifts, weather and travel
What’s inside
Safety orientation where needed, a light-footprint plan, and options for anyone who’d rather not be on camera.
- 03
Find what matters
We look for the true line, not the polished one.
- What you bring
- A little patience on the day
- What you get
- Real interviews, real moments and the context around them
What’s inside
A two-person crew filming interviews, follow-along moments, drone and stills, with as little disruption as possible.
- 04
Craft the film
We cut it with care, and we hit the deadline.
- What you bring
- Feedback at two review points
- What you get
- The finished film, cut-downs for social, and photos if included
What’s inside
Editing, colour, sound mix, licensed music, captions and two review rounds, delivered in the formats you need.

In their words
Move the sliders to your own numbers. It is the same maths we walk through together when we talk.
That is the twelve-month value of 4 more people a month at $5,000 each. One film, doing that work again and again.
An illustration to make the idea concrete, not a forecast or a promise. Use your own numbers.

Photography
Hi, I’m Josh.
I started Breaking Ice in Norman Wells in 2022 with very little gear and a lot of curiosity. What I noticed early was that the people here had incredible stories and almost nowhere to tell them properly.
Most of my work is still the same thing: spending time with people, earning their trust, and making something they’re proud to share. If that’s what you need, I’d love to hear about it.
