Your Story is a visual storytelling studio and video production company in Calgary, making commercials, brand films and corporate video for brands and agencies across Alberta.
We’re a Calgary video production company built around a simple belief: the best work starts with something worth communicating. From commercials and brand films to corporate video production for energy, agriculture, technology and consumer organizations, we bring strategy, creative direction, production and post-production together under one roof. Every project is shaped with intention, grounded in something human, and made to stay with you.
Calgary balances city energy with an openness that’s hard to find elsewhere: downtown glass along Stephen Avenue, the Bow and Elbow river valleys, the brick of Inglewood, wide prairie and the Rockies about an hour west. That range gives productions space to move between polished, grounded and expansive. The city also has a growing screen industry, with purpose-built stages like the Calgary Film Centre and series such as HBO’s The Last of Us filmed in and around it.
Selected commercial, brand, and corporate productions managed from planning through final delivery.
Every story is different. The principles behind great storytelling are not. Shaped over more than a decade and thousands of stories, the Your Story Structure™ brings clarity to the creative process by aligning three interdependent forces.
Every story is different. The principles behind great storytelling are not. Shaped over more than a decade and thousands of stories, the Your Story Structure™ brings clarity to the creative process by aligning three interdependent forces.
Understanding who the story is for, when they’ll experience it, and what they bring with them.
Shaping the story through structure, perspective, rhythm, emotion, and visual intention.
Defining what the audience should feel, remember, perceive, or do because the story exists.
We work with a curated roster of commercial directors, bringing different perspectives, visual languages, and areas of expertise to each production. Projects are matched with directors based on the story, creative direction, audience, and needs of the campaign.
Our studio model is built around bringing together the right creative and production talent for each project. We are always interested in meeting experienced directors, producers, cinematographers, production crew, photographers, editors, animators, and other specialists working in Calgary. If your work reflects strong craft, thoughtful decision-making, and a collaborative approach, introduce yourself and share your portfolio.

Your Story can manage a project from concept through completion or provide production support within an existing agency or client workflow.
We produce commercials, brand films, corporate videos, documentaries, product videos, testimonial films, interviews, event films, recruitment videos and integrated campaigns for brands and agencies in Calgary and across Alberta.
The production approach is built around the audience, creative direction, platform and objectives of each project.
Timelines vary by scope.
Smaller productions may move from planning through final delivery within several weeks, while larger commercials and campaigns can require several months of creative development, pre-production, filming, post-production and approvals. In Calgary, fast-changing weather shapes exterior days and mountain locations add travel time, so we build both into the plan, along with permit lead times wherever a location needs them.
We establish a clear schedule and approval process at the beginning of each project.
Yes. Alberta’s film, television and commercial work has built a capable crew base in Calgary, and we assemble crews from it around the requirements of each production, supported by our North American network.
Crew may include producers, directors, cinematographers, camera teams, lighting, grip, sound, art department, production personnel and specialized technicians.

Link: Post-production
Yes. Creative development, pre-production meetings, reviews, approvals, and post-production can all be managed remotely. When filming takes place in Calgary, our production team coordinates the local logistics while maintaining clear communication with agency and client stakeholders wherever they are based.
Yes. Calgary is the centre of Alberta’s film and television industry, with purpose-built studio space such as the Calgary Film Centre. HBO’s The Last of Us filmed in and around the city, using locations from downtown to across the province. For commercial and corporate work, that means experienced crews and equipment close at hand.
Cost follows the creative: cast, crew, locations, shoot days, equipment and the finish of the final image. In Calgary, a mountain or ranch location adds travel and weather days that a downtown or studio shoot does not. We build each budget around the story and the objective rather than a fixed rate card.
