Orenda Films Inc.

Orenda Films Inc. (formerly Alpha-Omega Productions) is an award winning and provincially recognized Indigenous (100% Indigenous owned) film production and video solutions firm (incorporated in the province of BC) operating on the traditional territory of Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc. Over the last few years of running a business, we have helped gather, share and tell the stories of people (both Indigenous and non- Indigenous) and businesses all over Canada. On this journey, we have learned that there is a force present that connects all of us as human beings. This led us to change our name from Alpha-Omega Productions to Orenda Films. After researching and searching for an Indigenous word with meaning, for a word that we felt represented ourselves and our business, we stumbled upon the word Orenda. Orenda is the Iroquois name for a spiritual energy inherent in people and their environment, in today’s terms, a mystical force present in all people that empowers them to affect the world or to effect changes in their own lives. We feel like Orenda describes the experience, feeling and connection we want ourselves and our clients to have with the films/videos that we produce.

We have experience working with a broad cross-section of organizations from not- for-profits, to commercial businesses to communities including many Indigenous communities and organizations. We have extensive experience working with Indigenous citizens, including elders and youth, on a broad spectrum of topics. We have also worked with high profile film producers including Academy recognized directors and have been commended for our work ethics and commitment to delivering high-quality productions on budget and on time. We have also received specialized cinematography training from the American Society of Cinematography through their International Masterclass (Pinewood Studios, Toronto, Ontario).
