How do you describe your company and why should new directors in particular be interested in your company?
CANADA is a creative production company founded in 2008 when a small collective of directors came together, united by the desire to connect with an audience via meaningful, well-crafted films.
Since then, we have grown to become a family of international creatives and producers with offices in Barcelona, London and Los Angeles. Our shared love for our work, our belief in the power of collaboration, the magic of people, and the wonder of true artistry unite everything we do.
With decades of experience creating award-winning work by our directors and photographers, we’re proud to develop and produce our projects with a global approach.
Diversity Leadership:
As Shiny members, we are supporting free entries for Shiny’s education & training partners (Mama Youth, Brixton Finishing School, Creative Mentor Network, LSA, ELAM and universities & colleges worldwide).
Also as we are on the jury panel for the Shiny awards, we donate prizes to support new & diverse filmmakers.
CANADA London’s MD is a member of the APA DEI Working Group for 2026, helping to design updated training, guidance and resource programmes for APA member companies in the UK. CANADA has also committed to overhauling its internal DEI policies and delivering a refreshed inclusivity training programme for staff in collaboration with BIFA. CANADA has an inclusive hiring policy and its hiring partners include Creative Access, Good Nugget, Loving Your Work, The Kusp and The Shaw Trust, laying the groundwork for a new internship programme in 2026 which will prioritise industry access for early career individuals from marginalised groups.
What do you look for from new directors?
In new directors we like to see a clear and unique voice, a little bit of magic and a commitment to craft regardless of the budget. Beyond this it’s hard to describe, but we know it when we see it. CANADA is known for being a bit weird, wonderful and magical.
