What clients say

It was a pleasure working with Ben and Olam Films! They produced a remarkable quality of filmography, going above and beyond expectations to ensure project success over a short timeline. Ben's professionalism and innate talent for putting people at ease allowed the unfolding of genuine storytelling and used it to create meaningful visual and auditory media. Olam Films prioritized the cultural values of multiple stakeholders, respected a diverse set of communities and Indigenous Peoples throughout the entire film making process. The final product reflects the exceptional quality of work produced by Olam Films and would recommend them to anyone interested.

I can't say enough about my experience working with Ben and Olam Films. Ben supported us in bringing to life a short film focused on documenting Indigenous-led work happening across BC. We worked with multiple communities and shot on-location. It was our first time making a film, and Ben was an extraordinary support throughout the process. He helped us clarify our overall vision, while still ensuring that community members were empowered to tell the stories they wanted to tell, and that their stories were told right. He even went above and beyond to provide multiple communities with their own mini films, pro bono. Ben is a highly ethical storyteller and we hope to collaborate again in the future.

Our environmental non-profit has worked with Olam films for the better part of a year, and will continue to work together for the foreseeable future. They have been integral in telling our story with integrity and style, and produced pieces on budget, on time and in line with discussed visioning each and every time. We have found that their grace and presence behind the camera has put participants at ease and elicited the best most authentic interviews out of everyone they speak with. We're grateful for the ongoing opportunity to work with Ben and Olam films, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone interested.

Working with Olam Films and Ben over the years has been fantastic. He's responsive, humble, open-minded, and extremely skilled as a producer, editor, videographer, and photographer.

I highly recommend Olam Films and will continue to engage with them in the years to come.

Benjamin is a storyteller at heart. His ability to capture just the right moment to express the values underneath the narrative is so evident in his work.

Working with Ben and the team at Olam was a wonderful experience. They are thoughtful, intentional and professional storytellers, and their ability to tell our story as a small non-profit was amazing. Their flexibility and generosity throughout the project were much appreciated, and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

I've worked with Ben and Jamie on a few different videos now and I have been incredibly happy with their efforts and final product. They are very professional in their approach to gathering clips, interviews, and drone footage to create such excellent videos. They show great patience with the client when dates and times need to be adjusted, and their willingness to make locations work brings wonderful imagery to their films. I highly recommend Olam Films and encourage many companies to create promotional videos through Ben and Jamie. Thanks guys for all your hard work!

I had the pleasure of working with Olam Films on the new films for the BC Community Forest Association. They really got us, and brought a thoughtful and supportive approach to every step of the process. Their creativity, professionalism, and ability to capture authentic stories made the whole experience a pleasure. I'm so proud of the films we created together to highlight community forests across BC. Thanks to the Olam Films team for the great collaboration.

We are an academic company and we didn't have a vision for how to market the company initially, which we needed to secure our next round of seed funding. Working with Olam Films was excellent in terms of being able to provide us with what we need in order to execute on our series-A financing and get that interest from investors. It's something we needed help with, and Olam Films was able to construct a very catchy storyline for us to be able to get this company into the next stage of growth. It's remarkable how flexible and willing to work with our teams needs to get us the video we were really hoping for. The whole experience was awesome.

Olam Films did an incredible job filming and editing a number of videos for my team. They worked fast and efficiently and were very patient with our requests for alterations. Ben's talent for visual storytelling is top class and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. A pleasure to work with and a true professional.

Ben at Olam Films is great at what he does! Very flexible to our requests and supportive of the cultural environment that was needed for our video ad. Fast and effective given a tight timeline, even in the distance. The final product was fabulous and eye catching.

Ben is a talented, respectful, honest, and nice individual. He makes all efforts to work within your schedule, is prepared for all landscapes and environments, and keeps the filming and interviews natural and comfortable. Ben's films really speak for themselves, you will feel a true connection to the storyteller and environment he is capturing. Thank you Ben, for doing this important work!

We worked with Olam Films recently to create a short video communicating the story of our work and its impact to potential donors. We are so happy with the results! Their team has an eye for capturing beauty with the camera. They also managed to piece together a coherent narrative that flowed smoothly and told a story with a limited number of clips. They were also great about listening to our needs and what we were looking to get out of the video, and adapting their approach to meet our goals. We look forward to working with them again.

Working with Olam Films has been a real pleasure, and I hope it's the first of many collaborations to come. Ben is extremely professional, respectful and sensitive while working in different communities; he listens carefully to the brief; and he consistently goes above and beyond. The result in our work was a set of videos beautifully shot that clearly articulated the shared vision, and a sense of true teamwork throughout the process. Highly recommend collaborating with this company!

Olam Films brought a vision to our story that resulted in a really amazing and heartfelt product. One of the videos Olam produced has helped us educate our stakeholders on the important issue of marine plastic pollution much more effectively than any power point presentation could have done. The products are highly impactful and have been very well received. In addition, they provided a lot of great stock footage that we can amend into future social media clips as needed.

Allied Certifications Ltd. contracted Olam's videography services for a project we are developing with the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. Their product was superior to other videographers we contracted, capturing both the sensitive and complicated political relationships we sought to portray and the unique beauty of the Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks ecology and culture. Other works by Olam demonstrate the professionalism, the ability to listen and to represent diverse cultural perspectives, and the skill of portraying complicated political dynamics in a clear and accessible way that we experienced working with him. We are grateful for their work, and we hope to continue working with Olam Films on future projects. We give them our strongest recommendation.

We've worked with Olam Films exclusively for all of our videography and storytelling needs. The ability to tell complex stories from diverse perspectives while capturing the scope and scale of our projects is no easy task. Olam Films has succeeded by delivering powerful messaging time and time again with results that consistently exceed our preliminary visions. We look forward to continuing to work with Olam Films in the years ahead.

Olam Films is an incredibly talented and passionate film studio which I had the honour of working with. We were moved to tears when we saw the quality of work.

We hope to connect with Olam Films again in the near future and are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with them.

We are absolutely thrilled with the video that Olam Films created for the Eco-School Network. They listened carefully to understand our vision and asked great questions during interviews of adults and children. The camerawork was beautiful and creative, the editing was thoughtful, and they wove it all together to tell our story in a touching, compelling way. Olam Films was a pleasure to work with. They were always professional, responsive, easy-going, and cheerful. We're so proud of our video and have already found it to be a valuable tool for our recruitment and marketing. We would work with Olam again in a second and encourage you to do the same.

We could not be more pleased with Olam's work! The video they produced for us is incredible and something we'll cherish for a long time to come as a local non-profit in Squamish. We're excited to share this video with the Squamish community and highly recommend Olam's professional services.

Olam Films is an important new voice in the world of documentary film production. They have a keen ability to take a client's vision, however blurry it may be, and bring it into sharp focus. Their team is always a pleasure to work with, consistently meets deadlines with quality work, is receptive to feedback and further editing requests, and produces visually-compelling, courageous, and honest work. Every piece of film Olam has produced for our projects has been exactly what we needed it to be. There is no doubt we will be working with them again.

Olam's work has the exceptional ability to shrink the distance between the viewer and the subject of his videos. They draw incredibly intimate narratives that deploy the storyline in a subtle and skillful manner. Their team is highly resourceful, accurate, and diligent with their work. Olam brought a dynamic and fresh perspective with their work, and I'd welcome the opportunity to work with them again in the future.

I had the pleasure to work with Olam Films on a company project this Summer. The goal was to highlight the business story and values and produce an authentic impression on video. Ben had great attention to detail, was able to recognize and portray the unique character of our team and was very attentive to suggestions and input.

We gave Olam Films the challenging task of making a final report visual and interesting, and they achieved it, even with tight timelines, highly technical information and the involvement of a number of partner groups. We appreciate the care taken in listening to our goals and work to bring them to life. Professional and prompt — we could count on them to engage with partners directly and really manage the video's creation. Very thankful to have found Olam Films and would highly recommend to others. Thanks Ben and team!
