The Kettle Point Productions Story
Kettle Point Productions, operating out of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, is located in Southwest Ontario along the beautiful shorelines of Lake Huron. Since launching in August of 2022, Kettle Point Productions has developed a body of work ranging from educational documentaries, a short horror film, several music videos, and a variety of corporate promotional reels.
We formed our company with a vision to create original content that inspires, entertains, and educates. We start with asking good questions and listen as the story unfolds. Stories are discovered and developed out of conversations. We allow ourselves the time to dream and to rest in the magic. We honor those we work with, from performers to technicians, and we respect the creative process.
