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 curi-osity 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.
Production Support
We love to work with friends in the film industry, collaborating for the greater good. Put our team to work, we’ll even bring our favourite gear!
