WorkCabin Films is a small Canadian conservation film production house focused on
human-driven wildlife and environmental documentaries for nonprofits,
researchers, and organizations working to protect nature.
We’re based in a 30-acre pine forest (yes, seriously!) in Southern Ontario, Canada
Our Approach To Conservation Storytelling
Our work in conservation filmmaking blends journalistic storytelling
with cinematic craft. From wildlife research in remote landscapes
to human-driven environmental documentaries, we focus on stories
that create understanding, empathy, and change.
Why conservation teams work with us
We come from conservation ourselves. That means we understand field days, permits, weather windows, sensitive species,
and the reality that the work comes first. Our role is to document your story without getting in the way
and do it clearly, accurately, and with respect for the science and the people doing the work.
Who We Work With
We partner exclusively with conservation nonprofits, environmental organizations, researchers,
Indigenous-led initiatives, and mission-driven teams across Canada
who need powerful film storytelling to support conservation, education, and advocacy.
Conservation isn’t just a niche for us. It’s who we are.

We live and work on the Traditional Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and we honour the Neutral, Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples whose deep relationship with this land continues today. With gratitude, we recognize our responsibility to centre Indigenous voices and leadership in how we create and share stories.
