Content Creation for Adventure sports

Anthill Films is a full-service production house with over 60 years of collective experience in the adventure film industry. Specializing in film, TV, web and commercial production for active and outdoor lifestyles, we use small, adaptable teams to create compelling, story-driven content that connects brands and audiences through shared values. Based in beautiful Squamish, British Columbia, our crews have traveled to some of the most far-flung parts of the planet but are equally comfortable working in urban environments and studios.

Plan

From the broad vision for a new film project through to the execution of a unique shot, Anthill collaborates with clients, talent and crew to gather the best ideas and meticulously plan our approach.

Capture

By using small, flexible crews we capture high-end imagery in hard to reach places, often without the luxury of multiple takes. We set egos aside and use a decentralized approach to bring the best ideas to life.

Create

Anthill’s Squamish studio includes three dedicated editing suites, sound mixing room and network storage with LTO backup. We can manage all aspects of post-production, including: music licensing, 2D & 3D graphics, colour correction and sound design.

Release

To ensure our work reaches an engaged audience we create ancillary, shareable assets that appear across the full media spectrum from small scale social media posts to feature stories and international film festivals.
