Toronto Canada based Commercial Film Director Brent Foster

Hi! I’m Brent. 

I’m a director and photographer with a passion for creating impactful and emotional commercial and documentary films with storytelling at the heart of it all. 

For 10+ years, I’ve been directing ambitious commercial campaigns, PSAs, documentaries and branded content in Canada and across the globe for clients ranging from Nike, McDonald’s, The NBA, National Geographic, KIA, Canada Life, and Sick Kids Hospital—to name a few. 

I thrive on collaboration and take pride in creating work alongside agency creatives and clients who share a goal of making powerful and memorable projects.
