Your Story is a visual storytelling studio bringing full-service video production to Kelowna and the Okanagan, making commercials, brand films and corporate video for brands and agencies.
We’re a Vancouver-based video production company serving Kelowna and the Okanagan, built around a simple belief: the best work starts with something worth communicating. From commercials and brand films for wineries, tourism and hospitality brands to corporate video production for technology, health care and education 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.

























Lake, vineyard, orchard, mountain. Kelowna and the Okanagan give us an uncommon range of places to tell a story, from the downtown waterfront and Knox Mountain to the wineries of West Kelowna and Lake Country. The valley has its own screen industry too, supported by the Okanagan Film Commission and a regular slate of television movies and series shot around the lake. We pair that range with experienced crews and a production approach shaped around the needs of each project.
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 oversee the structure behind each production, aligning budgets, schedules, permits, crew, logistics and communication from pre-production through filming.
Our producers plan each Kelowna shoot around valley realities like summer heat and wildfire smoke, harvest season and travel from the coast, so the creative team can focus on the work while every detail moves forward as planned.
We provide location sourcing, scouting, permitting and production coordination in Kelowna and the Okanagan: the downtown waterfront and Cultural District, Knox Mountain and the W.R. Bennett Bridge, the wineries of West Kelowna, Lake Country and the Mission, orchards and lakefront properties, the Myra Canyon trestles and Big White in winter. Each location is evaluated for its visual relevance, accessibility, technical requirements and ability to support the production safely and efficiently.
We coordinate flights into Kelowna International Airport, the drive over the Coquihalla and the Okanagan Connector, accommodation and equipment transport for cast, crew and production personnel. From single-day shoots to multi-location productions across the valley, every movement is planned around the schedule to keep the team aligned.
We assemble experienced production crews for Kelowna shoots around the needs of each project. Our core team travels from Vancouver, and our network includes directors, cinematographers, camera teams, lighting crews, sound professionals, production personnel and specialized technicians across British Columbia and major North American markets.
We source and coordinate camera, lighting, grip, sound, aerial and specialized production equipment for Kelowna productions, drawing on Vancouver’s established rental houses. Each package is selected around the creative direction, shooting environment, crew requirements and budget rather than applying the same technical approach to every production.
We manage casting for Kelowna productions, including actors, models, performers, interview subjects and real people. From casting calls and auditions through contracts, scheduling and on-set coordination, we identify talent that aligns with the intended audience and creative direction.
We develop the visual environment of each Kelowna production through set design, props, wardrobe, styling and art direction. Whether the story lives in a tasting room, an orchard or a lakefront home, every detail is considered in relation to the story, building a cohesive world that supports the creative.
We coordinate practical special effects and stunt work with experienced specialists for productions in Kelowna and the Okanagan. Planning covers technical requirements, rehearsals, scheduling, budget, safety and the permits a public-space shoot may need.
We coordinate the insurance, permits, releases, agreements and production documentation required for each Kelowna project. Where a shoot needs them, we handle locations and permits, along with equipment insurance, location agreements, appearance releases, talent contracts and music considerations.
We produce TV commercials in Kelowna for broadcast, connected television, digital campaigns, social platforms and paid media, shaping every production around the idea, the audience and the feeling it needs to leave behind.
As a commercial production company working across the Okanagan, we bring creative development, casting, locations, cinematography, production design and post-production together with intention. The result is advertising that feels considered from first frame to final cut: visually distinctive, emotionally resonant and built to make the story stay with you.
Brand films communicate more than what a company does. They reveal what it stands for, what makes it distinct and why people should care.
Our brand video production in Kelowna brings together narrative, cinematography, sound and design to explore the people, purpose, products and experiences behind a brand, whether that’s a family winery, a hospitality group or a growing tech company. Every film is shaped with intention, creating something that feels human, emotionally resonant and true to the story being told.
Your Story leads corporate video production in Kelowna for organizations that need to communicate clearly with employees, customers, investors, partners and the broader public, from technology companies downtown to health care, education and tourism organizations across the valley.
From company stories and leadership films to recruitment videos, culture pieces, internal communications and investor narratives, we create corporate videos that shape complex information into stories people can understand and connect with. Every production carries the same narrative thinking and cinematic craft, so the work feels considered, human and worth watching.
Great product videos do more than show what something looks like. They make people understand why it matters.
We create product videos in Kelowna that bring features, details and real-world use to life through cinematic visuals and purposeful storytelling. From lifestyle-driven films and product launches to demonstrations, campaigns and social cutdowns, every production is built around how the product should be experienced, not just displayed.
From concept and creative direction through filming, motion, sound and post-production, we shape each piece to feel distinctive, considered and true to the brand behind it.
The best interviews don’t feel scripted. They feel like real people saying something worth listening to.
We produce interview videos in Kelowna for brand films, corporate communications, leadership stories, testimonials, documentaries and campaigns. From lighting and sound to interview direction and editorial structure, we shape the entire environment around the conversation, helping people feel comfortable on camera and creating interviews that feel natural, thoughtful and genuinely human.
Good advertising earns attention before it asks for action.
We create video ads in Kelowna for paid social, YouTube, digital campaigns, connected TV and online platforms, combining strategic thinking with cinematic storytelling to make brands hard to scroll past.
From concept and creative development through production and post, every piece is built around the audience, the platform and the response it needs to create. The result is advertising people actually want to watch: distinctive, memorable and made to move.
Complex ideas don’t need to feel complicated.
We create live-action explainer videos in Kelowna that turn products, services, processes and big ideas into stories people can quickly understand and remember. When a story is better told through animation or motion design, our animation studio takes it on, and we combine formats where that is the clearest way to communicate what matters.
From concept and scripting through production and post, every explainer is shaped around the audience, making information easier to follow without losing the character, personality or meaning behind it.
The strongest proof rarely comes from the brand itself.
We produce testimonial videos in Kelowna that turn real customer and client experiences into credible, compelling stories. Through thoughtful interview direction and a relaxed production environment, we help people speak naturally about what changed, what mattered and why the experience stayed with them.
From customer testimonials and client stories to case study videos, we shape each conversation into a clear narrative that builds trust without feeling scripted or overly polished. The most persuasive stories are the ones people believe.
The best events create moments people want to carry with them.
We provide event video production in Kelowna for conferences, launches, activations, experiential campaigns, corporate retreats, winery and festival events, and live brand environments. Our approach combines documentary-style capture with cinematic filmmaking to preserve both what happened and what it felt like to be there.
From multi-camera coverage and interviews to photography, highlight films, social cutdowns and same-day edits, we build coverage around the needs of each event, creating a library of films that extends its impact long after the room clears.
We work with a curated roster of commercial directors who travel to Kelowna and the Okanagan, each bringing a different perspective, visual language and area of expertise. Projects are matched with directors based on the story, creative direction, audience and needs of the campaign.
