Like many creatives, we started at the bottom. Literally underground, in a room dug into a hilltop, beneath a house perched above in a small Canadian city. To say we know what it means to be overlooked would be an understatement.
But we’re tenacious. We’re guided by an unwavering moral compass, fueled by curiosity and driven to contribute to something bigger—much bigger. That spirit is why Orchard Drive Entertainment is becoming impossible to miss and hard to forget.
Our mission is to amplify compelling, thought-provoking stories that are overlooked yet viable. We see what others can’t: Entire lives and worlds with the power to change things. To make things better. To help us live. We make stories tangible so that others can see what we see. The good, only greater.
Mission
To produce compelling, thought-provoking non-fiction films, podcasts & stories that challenge viewers while maintaining high ethical standards that set new workplace standards in the industry.
Vision
A media industry with a greater focus on truthful, honest, and powerful content that shifts perspectives and changes lives, while supporting the overall well-being of humanity.

WORK WITH US
Be Heard
Everyone has a story, and every story deserves not just to be told but to be heard. We take the time to understand you, your message, your audience and your intentions. Then we use our experience to develop a creative concept that tells your story in your voice (this isn’t about us) so that every frame is an extension of your story.
It’s not easy to trust someone with your story, but when you work with our award-winning team of filmmakers… you can be assured we have your back.
We see your character & bring your story to life through video.
