Happy Monday from our team! Here's our office dog, Ronin trying to help Curtis edit.

08/20/2022

Have you checked out Meet me On Bernard this summer? We're loving it! Tyler is down filming the Show & Shine today, so if you see him, be sure to say hi!

08/19/2022

You never know where this job will take you. Tyler recently put on his steel-toed boots and hard hat and helped some colleagues from Vancouver film instructional videos in the Okanagan. It was so nice to work with the folks at for three days.

We spend a lot of hours every year filming dances in the Kelowna Community Theatre. It's a lot of fun, and when you get into the rhythm of things, you almost feel as if the camera is dancing with the incredible dancers on stage.

08/15/2022

We love this van. It's so nice to have almost our entire inventory of gear travel with us when the job requires it. In this case, we took a whole bunch of video and audio gear with us to film the races Saskatoon. We'd hate to drive all that way and not have the right piece of equipment when a need arises--with our van we don't have to worry about that.

08/12/2022

Did you know we'll travel for jobs? This particular one took Curtis & Tyler over 1200km away to Saskatoon Saskatchewan as part of a crew filming the Avion Motorsports RS1 Series.

Curtis and Tyler in Kamloops, pictured 12+ hours into their day of shooting. This was a unique day: Curtis was filming for CBC The National, while Tyler was filming for CTV. Days like these are long and tiring, but we are always grateful for the opportunity to tell the stories that matter to Canadians.

So excited to announce will be playing his amazing music here at Distill Media on July 8th! Seating is limited--so get your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/n-sherman-live-music-distill-media-tickets-361004713817

This concert, featuring Washington-state songwriter N. Sherman, is designed to be a listening experience. With limited tickets available, the goal of the evening is to see quality music performance up close and uninterrupted.

This will be the second time we're opening up our office for an event like this (first one sold out). We love using this space to further add value to our community.

Now, go forth! Book a seat! We'll have a cash bar!

"N. Sherman's songwriting illuminates the beautiful, the dark, and unknown parts of what it means to be human. Rhythmically lush and musically sparse, his songs carry a weight with them, enough to stop even the busiest person in their tracks. He plans to release a full-length album late 2022."

06/10/2022

One week ago today, Distill Media had the pleasure of hosting a sold-out concert. This was the first time we've had an event at our space (you know, since moving into our office in the middle of the pandemic), and it was so lovely. A big thank you to everybody who made it out!

We'll announce July's show tomorrow. 👀

Some behind-the-scenes shots of a very special project we're working on with --a mini-documentary showcasing their recent CD release show, and the events leading up to it. These two are an absolute joy to work with, and performed an incredible show last month!

So excited to announce will be playing her amazing music here at Distill Media on June 3rd! Seating is limited--so get your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/chloe-davidson-live-music-distill-media-tickets-324288695217

This concert, featuring local phenom violinist and songwriter Chloe Davidson, is designed to be a listening experience. With limited tickets available, the goal of the evening is to see quality music performance up close and uninterrupted.

This will be the first time we're opening up our office to so many people. We're looking forward to using this space to further add value to our community.

Now, go forth! Book a seat! We'll have a cash bar!

"Using a violin, looper, and voice as her tools of choice, Chloe Davidson creates music full of authenticity and wonder.

"From a young age, Chloe has used music as a vehicle of self-expression, but was taught right away that the higher purpose of the art she created was to be a gift to those around her.

"Playing many diverse genres and collaborating with many different types of artists, her sound has many versatile subtle influences. Though essentially, her touching melodies, moving lyrics, and rich harmonies, are rooted straight from her heart as she strives to create music that brings light to the nature of who we all truly are as a whole."
