ABOUT US // OUR SERVICES
FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS, OUTSIDEINSIDE HAS BEEN CREATING INDEPENDENT AND COMMISSIONED FILMS USING CINEMATIC STORYTELLING TO PROVOKE, ILLUMINATE, AND AMPLIFY.
Our versatile skillset enables us to provide services in development, production, post-production, as well as distribution, on a wide range of styles and types of media destined for broadcast/theatrical, commercial uses, and social media. We are comfortable working with large agencies, broadcasters and brands as well as museums, nonprofits, unions, universities, government agencies, cultural institutions, artists, and small businesses to execute a vision that will ultimately make an effective and lasting impact on audiences. We can also help with more modest tasks like documenting your event, editing together cell-phone videos, or making slideshows. Check out some of our previous client work below, and don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We are based out of Peterborough Ontario, which is an incredible place to work and play, and we happily work on projects that take us all over Canada and the world.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both. Our time is basically split between the two. Long form documentary is our passion, but we also love to produce commissioned films, brand documentaries, and promotional videos for nonprofits, museums, unions, universities, government agencies, cultural institutions, and businesses with a story worth telling. We’re especially drawn to projects rooted in social or environmental impact, education, or just a genuinely great brand story.
The whole thing, if you want it: development, production, editorial, post-production, and distribution strategy. We can also step in for individual needs, like cinematography or post finishing. We care just as much about the edit as we do about what happens on set — a lot of the story actually gets found there.
Often. Most projects keep us close to home in Peterborough and the surrounding region — Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal — but we’ve traveled further afield too, filming as far as Mexico and Cuba. If a story takes us somewhere, we’re happy to go.
Documentary storytelling is our core strength, but that skillset carries over into brand films, organizational profiles, promotional videos, commercials, and event content — for broadcast, web, and social media. We have experience in narrative film, VFX and animation. We’ve also been part of lots of art films and music videos.
It depends on scope — a short promotional video can come together in a week, while a longer documentary may take several months from development through delivery. We’ve got the care it takes for long term commitment, and also the speed and experience for quick turnarounds when it’s needed. We’ll map out a realistic timeline once we understand what you need.
