The company began producing corporate videos in 2008 and formally entered the creative film sector in 2012 under the Foster Films Canada name, accumulating a body of work that has secured international distribution and festival recognition.

The business operates on a project-based, quote-driven model with no publicly disclosed pricing.

The customer base spans enterprise (Google, Cleveland Clinic, Skate Canada, Elexicon, Deloitte Universities), government (Town of Ajax, Ontario Regiment and Canadian Tank Museum), nonprofit (Operation Motorsport, Wellspring, Charles Best Centre), education (Ryerson, Guelph), automotive (Yamaha, World of Tanks, World Replica Group), retail/hospitality (Roots, 1Hotel Toronto), and individual/consumer photography clients. Recent 2024 activity includes partnerships with Roots and 1Hotel Toronto ahead of the Winter Olympic Games and promotional work for The Ontario Regiment and Canadian Tank Museum.

Operationally, the company is a small-scale, founder-controlled production house with a single Ontario office, no disclosed headcount, no external funding, and no parent or subsidiary entities. Marketing is limited to a Squarespace-hosted portfolio website and an Instagram presence, with lead generation driven primarily by direct outreach and referral. Technology stack is conventional professional production equipment; there are no APIs, software products, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed.
