To achieve greatness all you need is a dedicated group of passionate people.
The Light Factory is a close-knit team of creators and producers who combine our skills to bring your idea to life; to give it colour, movement, and a narrative that stays with people; to tell it in the way you imagined it. We craft high-caliber visual stories for brands, creators, institutions, and community causes that matter to us. Our impact has expanded, but we’re still lean and nimble. And we like it that way.
After trading his plans to be a history teacher for a Bachelor of Fine Arts, 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. And it’s no surprise he loves films, but he wouldn’t dare pick a favourite because it all depends on his mood.
Understanding & research
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.
Creative Lead / Director / Producer
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.
Production Manager / Producer
There’s no idea too big, too complex, or too ambitious for our curious crew.
Wait, is that an acronym?
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.
It takes a keen eye and skillful touch to perfect the final cut. Our in-house editing team fine-tunes every frame, while our sound and colour experts add the finishing touches to make sure the piece pops off the screen.
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.
