*creative + production under one roof.
*we like to do things differently here.
Light Factory is a creatively driven production house. We're producers, directors, writers, and editors, and we've been punching above our weight since day one. Whether it's your idea or ours, we combine the 'how' with the 'why.' Bringing together our considerable in-house capability with a diverse roster of talented collaborators is the foundation of our approach. And it's the secret sauce in how we can create projects of all shapes and sizes.
Brett’s career choice (along with his life choices, overall) is all thanks to Batman. His childhood love for that film inspired him to make his own. He loves his job because it’s challenging and invigorating, with endless opportunities for an unbridled brainstorm. He loves his team because they depend on each other, and motivate each other. He embraces the range of emotions felt in this business, and also in the end product.

After trading his plans to be a history teacher for a Fine Arts degree, Brett found himself on the path to owning a video shop. He loves his job because it’s collaborative, always evolving, and there’s no better feeling than visualizing an idea and bringing it to life. He loves his team because everyone contributes and encourages each other. It’s no surprise he loves films, but he wouldn’t dare pick a favourite because it all depends on his mood.

Hali was first drawn to the world of video production when she starred in a car commercial in Japan (much like Regina George). She loves her job because it’s energetic, creative, and every project fulfills her in a different way. She loves her team for the borderline telepathic way they’re able to communicate with each other. And she couldn’t possibly pick an all-time favourite movie because there are too many, but it all started with A Neverending Story.

sustainability initiatives
right here
Everything we do connects to a larger goal for our clients, and the clearer we are on what they’re trying to accomplish, the better we can create something that makes a real impact.
We empower each other to think bigger, to get inventive, to analyze and experiment, until we uncover the best solution. If there’s a way we can elevate an idea, we’ll find it.
We always push ourselves to do the best possible job and enjoy every step of the way. We pride ourselves on fostering a kinetic work environment with contagious levels of passion.
We champion open communication and leave egoes at the door. There’s nothing more powerful than a group of people sharing perspectives to reach a common goal together.
Not only are we professional, and collectively represent decades of expertise, but we’re also dedicated. Nothing matters more than the success of our clients and everyone we work with.
We’re a lean operation that streamlines production wherever possible. We don’t add anything extra to a project unless it contributes clear value to the final product. (*Yes, we know fat has all the flavour, but we needed the acronym to work).
