Our Story
Welcome to SwanSong Productions, where there is a world of limitless possibilities. I am Saulteux First Nations out of Manitoba. I was born in Cochrane, Ontario, and adopted and raised in Huntsville, Ontario, to a loving family that gave me a younger sister and includes a large extended family. I am part of the 60s Scoop era of Indigenous children but have found and met all of my biological family and discovered one sister and three brothers.
Film and video is a career path and journey I have always wanted to pursue ever since my aunt from the Toronto area took me to see Disney’s The Fox and the Hound. From there, I knew I wanted to tell stories, share my imagination for everyone else to see, and explore the possibilities of showing the ideas from my mind. I aim to have other people be just as engaged as I had always been, when a good story and captivating visuals allowed me to escape into another place and time.
Presently I am focusing on businesses and events for Indigenous, 2-Spirit, and 50+ individuals to give an awareness of their richness, value, and diversity. Please join me in this journey that is as exhilarating as the destination, and where every moment is an opportunity to make your mark. The only limit is the extent of your imagination.

Why Use SwanSong
Unlike using a cellphone or budget equipment to do video capturing, our tools will give you that cinematic visual most sought after. Our cameras feature a 35mm × 24mm full-frame sensor — capturing nearly 30 times more light information than a phone camera. The result? Richer colour, smoother gradients, and footage that doesn't fall apart in low light.
We shoot in 12-bit colour depth, capturing over 68 billion colour values per frame. Most phone cameras record in 8-bit, which creates visible banding in gradients. With SwanSong, your skin tones look natural, your sunsets look real, and your footage holds up to professional colour grading.
Our capabilities go beyond standard production. Waterproof camera housing lets us capture stunning underwater and water-adjacent footage. Our 3-camera multi-angle setup delivers more usable footage in less time — meaning fewer retakes, more natural performances, and a finished product with broadcast-quality depth. Even our budget packages use professional lighting, audio capture, and colour grading tools that deliver results leagues ahead of pointing a phone and hitting record.
Drone Footage
Sweeping cinematic aerial footage from up to 120 metres — the maximum legal altitude. All operations conducted by an experienced, qualified operator with fully compliant equipment. No boring single-pass flyovers — every flight is choreographed for multi-movement sequences that draw your viewer into the scene.
Slow Motion Capturing
Want to give a different perspective in some footage? Slow things down to see details not otherwise captured by the human eye. See the curls of the water as it breaks out of a wave, the flicker of a flame while it illuminates a familiar face behind it, or the strike of a lightning bolt with you watching out your window.
Special Effects
Have fun with your footage and consult on how you would like it to be presented. There are some signature effects that will make an impact when someone watches it, causing them to take a second look. Make it memorable so no one will forget who you are or what you are presenting.
Waterproof & Underwater
We take your story where other production companies can't follow. With professional waterproof camera housing, we capture stunning underwater and water-adjacent footage — cinema-quality capture in wet conditions, not a GoPro on a stick. Perfect for waterfront events, environmental documentaries, and dramatic brand films.
