We are proud to be the digital media sponsor for the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra this 2024-25 season!

For 64 years the TBSO has continually demonstrated what artistic excellence looks like in our community - We are excited to partner with them and help take their online presence to the next level.

This is our first fully AI-generated video. Everything you see here—the script, the voiceover, the music, and the visuals—was created by typing prompts into a computer. No mic setups, no cameras, just experimenting with new tools and seeing where it takes us.

It’s both exciting and unsettling. We’re playing with a new medium that has huge potential for storytelling, but we’re also wondering what it means for originality and the practical skills we’ve honed for years. At the end of the day, all we can do is embrace the change and see how it shapes our work.

In the grand scheme of things, we'll all be dust in 100 years, so why stress over it? Here’s our AI take on The Sandlot. What are your thoughts on AI?

We've been proud to work alongside Jones Insurance in this ongoing video series, where we've been sharing snapshot stories from businesses here in Thunder Bay. Jones' passion and heart for our community is obvious, inspiring, and contagious.

Here’s a fun example of how we use AI tools to enhance what we offer our clients.
We turned archived historical photos into living, breathing video. 📸 ➡️ 🎥

If you produce digital content for other businesses you better have a demonstrated ability to engage people through your own social media channels. At least that’s our firm belief.

People see Westfort's social media content and sometimes wonder,
Do these guys actually do real work?
Who are the brothers and who is the uncle?

Yes, we have fun on social media. Here’s a couple reasons why...

Social Media is a great tool for us to experiment with ideas.
▪️ We test out what connects with people - themes, trends, video pacing, music selection, etc.
▪️ We watch what content sparks the most like, comments, reposts to people’s feeds, and direct sends.
▪️ When we see what videos get the most traction we sit back, crush a few Nespresso’s, and ask "why?"

A a result, when a client comes to us for a campaign, or needs us to generate a creative concept, we are locked and loaded with ideas.

We wrapped up our summer producing a milestone event for Equinox Gold Corp.

The occasion? A 24 day trip, 3634km cycled, $1.3+ million donated to the Geraldton Hospital, and let's not forget the opening of the new Greenstone Mine!

Westfort Productions produced the on-screen content, provided the stage and audio/visual support, and all of the design and printed materials for all the 2-day event!

What a week! From a pitch and storyboard 6 months ago, to now… there’s nothing quite like seeing a production come together 🎥

From the on-screen talent, to production design, makeup & wardrobe, photography, and the list goes on. This was a collaborative effort featuring talent and expertise that is second to none.

Thanks to the dream team for turning the vision into a reality 🙌

We don't take it lightly when the work we do has the opportunity to have a positive impact on others. 🎥 Sharing stories like this is an incredible privilege.

Please consider purchasing 50/50 tickets and supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charity. So many families in Thunder Bay have relied on a Ronald McDonald House as their ‘home away from home’ during their time of need.

We took this picture of Kevin about a month ago. After the photos, we spent another 30 minutes joking and laughing with him because that is what you do around Kevin. A man without pretense or ego, Kevin genuinely cared about how you, your family, and your business were doing. A guy you always walked away from a visit with feeling better and smiling. Kevin's passing is an incredible loss to this community in so many ways. We are with everyone mourning Kevin's passing and our sincerest condolences go out to Amy, Charlie, Harry and Miles.
