Documentary-Style Branded Content
Billet Media’s production team is headed by award-winning filmmakers Jarrod Stark and Dale Roossien; two creative producers with a passion for documentary filmmaking and visual storytelling. When we’re not creating great documentaries like our recent feature film Panther People, we’re working on branded content, or short-form documentary content for clients like Autism Speaks Canada, Halton Region, the Halton Catholic District School Board, the Mosaic Institute, and others.
Jarrod Stark’s 2019 film “Grandmother’s Voice: Healing the Scars of Colonialism” won the award for Best Historical Film at the Canadian Diversity Film Festival, and has received Official Selection status at several other film festivals, along with airplay on television.
Our production team also includes a dedicated and experienced group of writers, directors, cinematographers, editors, and animators who create great-quality work on time and on budget. For larger projects, we can employ two production units for simultaneous multi-site cinematic production.
We work with a wide variety of clients in sensitive spaces like education, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, media, insurance, law, and finance. We have experience creating content that not only meets the standard advertising rules in Canada and the US, but also to the additional and sometimes rigorous stipulations of organizations like PAAB (Pharmaceutical Advertising Advisory Board), the Law Society of Upper Canada, Health Canada, and IIROC (the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada).
With almost 25 years of experience creating video content for clients, the team at Billet Media understand how to effectively manage projects with multiple stakeholders and often-opposing objectives.
If you take a look at our portfolio you’ll see some of the work we do for clients, but we also create a significant body of work that we cannot show you; things like paywalled real estate seminars, physicians-only CME (Continuing Medical Education) content, and other, similar narrowcasts. If you need help creating this type of content, we’d love to assist you.
