Behind the women who lead Bountiful Films, some great men! Bountiful Films wishes to thank our own troop of “Dudley Do-Rights”.

Director of Photography Steve Rendall. A Gemini-Award winning former CBC News cameraman, Steve and Director Helen Slinger are the creative team behind many of Bountiful’s docs. Steve brings to the process a still photographer’s eye for composition and an editorial sense both sharp and deep. A great cameraman to have beside you when the going gets tough. And just as good when the subject matter is sensitive.

Tim Wanlin has cut just about every Bountiful Films documentary.  He’s the kind of editor who enjoys beautiful visuals but truly celebrates the heart of the story, and is not content until he’s found it. We rely on Tim’s innate grasp of visual narrative and on his calm intensity. Doesn’t hurt, either, that he never loses his cool and has a killer sense of humour.

On the Web…

Hart Snider gives our films their much appreciated “value added” elements.  For instance, click on “The Mounties in Hollywood.” For this mini-doc, Hart watched a six-pack of old Hollywood Mountie films and created something which is both a send-up and a celebration of the iconic Mountie.

Steve Rio of Briteweb. Steve’s design eye and social media savvy has made Bountiful Films a strong presence on the web.

Steve specializes in web strategy, social media & web marketing, and design. He’s designed the bountiful website & social media strategy that is managed day-to-day by Devon. He is also working with the Bountiful crew, training and educating them on web strategy and concepts so everyone involved has a good handle & understanding of what is possible online.

Keeping it all together…

For production coordinator Alison Hill, no problem is too big or too small or too last minute or too daunting. She just dives in and gets it done.  Part Production Coordinator, part Post Production Supervisor, part Event Planner…100 per cent organizational goddess. Ally, we salute you!
