CONTEXT Studios recognizes that life is busy, and we either don’t have or make the time to capture these special moments. We’ll take this burden off your mind (and your plate), and you won’t have to worry about these questions again.
We make it easy by learning your story in advance, creating a memorable day, and delivering a documentary that you can enjoy for decades to come.
Context is everything.
Context is the invisible force shaping every individual, family, and business—experiences that define them, but often remain untold. Unlike photos or short clips, a documentary offers much deeper insight and understanding. For individuals and families, it reveals their very essence and the journey that shaped them. For businesses, it highlights the vision, values, and steps behind their growth. It’s also one of the most meaningful gifts to pass on to the next generation: the context of who they are and where they came from.

Message from our founder.
For decades, I’ve helped CEOs, visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, and family business founders craft and share their stories in ways that shape legacies through the PR agency I founded, Broad Reach Communications. Now, with CONTEXT Studios, I’ve taken that expertise to a deeply personal level—creating beautiful, cinematic documentaries that capture the stories that matter most.
Like so many of us, I reached a moment when I realized time was slipping away. Our parents, our mentors, the people who shaped us—their voices, their histories, their wisdom—needed to be preserved. But how? Writing it all down felt overwhelming. Who had the time? And would anyone truly read it?
That’s when I knew there had to be a better way.
At CONTEXT Studios, we don’t just document stories—we bring them to life. With a team of award-winning filmmakers, storytellers, and editors we’ve created a way to capture personal and business histories with warmth, depth, and stunning cinematography. Every detail is carefully crafted to reflect the essence of the person, the family, or the business being celebrated.
We’ve made the process effortless and beautiful, delivering your story in a cinematic documentary you can watch anytime, anywhere—just like Netflix or a podcast. Whether for families, businesses, or visionary leaders, we ensure your legacy is captured with heart, artistry, and the highest level of craftsmanship.
This isn’t just storytelling. It’s legacy-building at its finest and a gift for generations to come.
Let’s create something unforgettable—together.
How we give back.
Many of our loved ones are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. These individuals often lose access to their most cherished memories and as a result are unable to pass along their story. CONTEXT Studios contributes a portion of each documentary’s proceeds to help the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada put an end to dementia. We’re committed to improving the quality of life for people living with dementia, as well as their families and caregivers.
We’re hiring.
