Our Company
Free Anchor Films is a Vancouver-based film & television production company with more than 40 years of combined experience in the production industry. We pride ourselves in producing beautiful, world-class visual storytelling, and doing so in a professional and cost-effective way for our clients. Our relationships and years of experience doing exactly that mean we only hire and work alongside the industry’s most in-demand professionals, all across the globe.
We’ve worked on everything from narrative features and short films to commercials, branded content and documentaries, and won awards doing so. Our Head of Production and Director have won an Emmy and a Silver Dolphin at the Cannes Corporate Film Awards, respectively, for their individual work.Our experience in the broadcast realm ranges from being involved in high-level live production at the Olympic Games, ITU World Triathlon Series events, the Ironman World Championships and Red Bull events worldwide.
Put simply, we’re good at what we do, and we’ve been around long enough to know how to tell the stories that matter, in the ways that work.
We love working with dedicated partners and amazing clients.
The Values We’re Built On
Good work takes time.
Our reputation is built on quality, and we believe passionately in doing it right. Which is to say, while we can do almost anything, we also choose very carefully to make sure it’s a good fit for both you and us.
Relationships matter.
Filmmaking is a collaborative sport, and we put a lot of value in the people around us. That means we treat everyone we work with and work for with respect, and what we get in return is access to an unparalleled network of talented industry pros.
Always on budget.
It’s just that simple. Be on budget, be on time, be a professional. We don’t have it tattooed on our forearms, but it’s an integral part of why our clients have trusted us year in and year out.
Under-promise, over-deliver.
We’re honest about deadlines and expectations, and we’ll be up front if we don’t know how to do something. (But that’s never happened. We’ll let you know if does.)
Talk.
Just like these paragraphs are doing, we believe deeply in the value of effectively communicating with the people we work with. That goes for our clients, our crew, our caterers, our Amazon delivery drivers. Be human, be kind, and everything else flows from there.
Trust.
It’s the culmination of everything else we’ve said. Trust is everything in our business. It’s how we start a relationship, it’s part of the collaborative process, and it’s forged by creating beautiful, budget-conscious, effective work for our clients.
