Growing up, I was drawn to anything creative: writing, performing, imagining little worlds in my head. Eventually, I realized what I really wanted was to bring stories to life through video!

I started in a musical theatre program in high school, then took a gap year to travel around the U.S. and Europe. When I got back, I enrolled at the Toronto Film School to study video production and dove into every hands-on project I could.

These days, I work with small businesses, artists, and creatives to help them share their stories through film. I love capturing the behind-the-scenes, the process, the heart behind someone’s work. My style leans a little dreamy, a little soft, always focused on making something that feels true to you. I’m also open to custom video projects if you have something unique in mind.

Outside of filmmaking, I’m probably journaling, reading, dancing, training in Aikido, playing ukulele or piano, or wandering off in nature with my camera.

If you're someone with a story to tell, or even just an idea you’re excited about, I’d love to hear from you!

Hi, I’m Makayla!
