Our Story
The story of 47 Filmworks begins in the small town of Winnipeg where a couple middle school kids decided they wanted to create a film. One thing every budding filmmaker knows, is that you can't make a short film without a fake production company, and so, 47 Filmworks was born. Since then the team has grown and evolved until it finally became official in the summer of 2019, 47 Filmworks was in business! We feel so lucky to be on this journey, meeting and working with so many wonderful people. We're extremely passionate about telling stories, making people laugh, and creating a difference in this world. Everyone's life story is a endlessly different, and we'd be honoured to help tell yours.

For me, it all started with a borrowed point and shoot camera and a bunch of lego. You could try, but you could never pry a camera out of my hands as a kid. I started 47 Filmworks as a way to make my parents happy while still being able to follow my dreams of making movies. Through this I've been able to meet so many amazing people and work on countless skills. Wouldn't dream of doing anything else.

Visual Artist
I have always grasped an interest for the diverse ranges of artistic mediums, from immersing myself into numerous hobbies like knitting, embroidery, photography and painting; to exploring a found love for the realms of graphic and environmental design as a student. I also take the opportunity to travel whenever I can, I love to discover places new or old! I am so excited to continue my journey of creating and growing as an artist, here at 47 filmworks!

I’ve had a passion for creating videos for as long as I can remember. On my eighth birthday I was gifted a little purple camera and from that day forward my family home became a set and all of my friends became actors (whether they liked it or not). I spent a large part of my childhood and early adolescent years creating short films, developing an obsession with the writing, directing, and editing process. To this day there are very few things I love more than watching an idea travel from page to screen. I’m very excited to continue to foster my love for filmmaking and development of the skills that are necessary to do so.

My endless curiosity and love of learning has led me to pursue artistic endeavours of many forms. From a young age I have been passionate about technology and the tools it gives us to not only make the world a better place, but to make our visions a reality. I have worked on a high-altitude balloon design team which captured footage of the Earth from thousands of feet off the ground, along with smaller projects like learning to create computer games myself or editing videos in interesting and compelling ways. From these phenomenal experiences I have been able to build a diverse set of skills which never fail to bring a multi-faceted and unique perspective to anything you seek to create.

Salutations! I've been working and helping alongside 47 Filmworks for many years now. It's been a dream come true to get to work on set, I must say. I've always been obsessed with the movie industry, and the fact that I now get to take the reins in writing and producing short films is simply stupendous. Not to mention, I get to make new noteworthy connections all the time and work with some of my greatest friends. Not too shabby.
