WHO WE ARE

Located in the Comox Valley, Fox&Bee Studio provides high-quality, affordable video production services for community organizations, businesses, educational facilities and individuals. We’re driven by a passion for filmmaking and a curiosity for the people, places, and events that make British Columbia special. Our central location allows us to explore all of Vancouver Island, including Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Port Alberni, Campbell River, Nanaimo, and more!

Since 2011, our full-service videography studio has created hundred of videos, including documentaries, instructional videos, non-profit support material, animated videos, events, promotional material, commercials, and more. Videos can vary in length and complexity, and as a result, our prices will also vary. To view a selection of our recent work, visit What We Do.

From Victoria to Port Hardy and beyond, let us help you. We can take your idea — whether it's fully formed or still developing — and turn it into an eye-catching video that will captivate your audience, enhance your website, and communicate your message.
