Full Production

Ambition Studios is a producer-led film and commercial studio based in Toronto, working with partners in Canada and elsewhere. It develops and produces commercial spots, campaigns, brand films, and original film and television projects, with a film-first approach and a project-specific creative and production team for each engagement.

Commercial spots and campaigns

The studio produces national campaigns, brand films, and short-form commercial work for brands and agencies, including spots, campaign assets, and branded storytelling. A collaborative creative process shapes the content around the audience, brand strategy, and communication objective.

The working process, production responsibilities, deliverables, budget, and timing are confirmed for each brief rather than applying one public timeline to every commercial. The studio has worked on complex productions that require carnet arrangements, including work inside secure areas of airports and other high-security environments.

Budget range and what drives it

The studio has worked on projects with budgets ranging from a few thousand dollars to tens of millions. Budget is driven by the scope of the project.

Brand film development

Brand films sit within the commercial production work. The studio can take a project from an initial idea, campaign need, or creative direction and shape it into a cinematic piece for a brand or agency. An engagement can include concept development, creative collaboration, production planning, filming, and finishing. The exact scope is set during the initial discussion. The studio does not publish fixed brand film development stages, review gates, turnaround times, or delivery specifications.

When inquiring about a brand film, include:

Intended audience
Core message
Distribution channels
Approximate duration
Launch date
Available creative materials
Required versions

Original film projects

The studio develops and produces a selective slate of original film and television projects. The current slate:

Becoming Human: a 100-minute intimate speculative drama about a park ranger whose life changes after discovering a young alien in the forest. Written by Darcy Love and Cayley Hanson. Directed by Darcy Love.
Bigotry: a 95-minute psychological horror thriller about a teenage boy sent to live with an estranged uncle’s seemingly perfect suburban family, where a forgotten 1950s television personality governs the household. Written and directed by Zach Price.
Psylem: a 90-minute psychological horror project in development. A fungus-infected harvest poisons a Puritan family’s bread while a brother and sister watch their father descend into violence and their village fall into bloodshed.
Bless The Violent: a 120-minute dark fantasy project in development about a disgraced young soldier who survives an encounter with heaven and becomes the unwilling vessel of a power that could save humanity or destroy it.
Title Withheld: an original feature in early development. Details are reserved for a qualifying conversation.

Original project workflow

For original submissions, the studio considers commercial work, original films, and projects that do not fit an existing category. It accepts a small number of projects each year. Its role is to carry the creative, financial, and logistical responsibilities rather than handing them off. It works with writers, directors, and emerging creative voices and assesses each submission on its own terms.

Submission principles:

The goal is to move a project from the page to the screen, not leave it indefinitely in development.
Creative, financial, and logistical decisions stay connected throughout the project.
The studio considers new voices and ideas that may not yet have broad industry recognition.
The studio reads submissions and responds when a project resonates with its slate and capabilities.

The studio does not publish a full development-to-production workflow with defined approval milestones, financing stages, packaging requirements, or production dates.

When submitting an original project, provide:

Television project execution

The studio develops and produces television as part of its film and entertainment slate. It does not publish a standard television execution timeline, episode schedule, staffing model, financing calendar, or delivery plan. Timing depends on format, development status, financing, partners, number of episodes, production requirements, and intended distribution.

For a television inquiry, include: whether you are bringing a series, pilot, limited series, or another format; current development materials; format and episode information; creative team; project status; target audience; financing position; and desired timing.

Starting a conversation

The studio works from Toronto and engages with partners worldwide.
