How Are You?
Stay a while!
I'm Branden, Storyteller & Collab artist
Hi there! Thank you for checking out my site! I’m a Vancouver-based Director, Videographer and Creative Generalist who is focused on expanding my abilities at every opportunity, learning from those I get to work with and giving my all to every project I work on, no matter the scale or subject.
Take a look at some detailed breakdowns of my previous work and if you like what you see, let’s get in touch.

I’ve been at this for a while…
Over my 7+ years as a professional creative, I’ve had the pleasure to work with Apple, Amazon, Bacardi, Coors, Etsy, Ford, Gatorade, Lululemon, Meta, Nike, Nestle, Porsche, Taco Bell, WestJet and many more - helping to bring creative visions to life through scripted projects and shooting/editing/directing ethnographic documentaries that offer these brands an empathetic view into the lives of their customers.
While a lot of my work is geared toward private ethnographic research I also have a few public facing projects I just love to talk about.
WASTED (2024)
Director/Videographer/Writer
This is my latest public documentary and a passion project. Working in research the last few years has had me talking with young people in Tokyo, Sao Paulo, L.A., Chicago, New York and Toronto, making documentaries exploring youth culture.
I spent 3 months following multiple individuals in the creative scene in Vancouver to explore how the youth are responding to the cost of living crisis and the onslaught of bad-faith criticism they get from the media.
The documentary has been screened to massive audiences throughout North America and has been met with everything from enraged confusion to tears and reckoning - I hope you land on the latter. (live on May 2nd)
The Motherload (2022)
Director/Editor
The goal of this project was to shine a light on how the pandemic affected mothers in North America. Due to the lockdowns I directed each of the participants through self-recording the B-Roll.
It was such a hit in the visual ethnography world I was invited to present it at EPIC 2023 and I’m very proud to say that multiple agencies/organizations that saw it told us it inspired them to rethink their maternity leave policies.
F&F Explainer
Director/designer/animator/V.O.
This animation short was created to outline the company’s mission statement and ethos, introducing our visual style and zine-like aesthetic.
This project allowed me to play with the mixed media style I deeply enjoy and shows what I can do with a few days of production time.
Thank You
I appreciate your taking a look through some of my highlighted work. While ethnographic documentaries comprise the bulk of my recent output I’m also very proud of my more creative work which is partially represented in the reel above.
Like what you see? Don’t be a stranger! Life’s better together anyhow.
