What we do

Alibi tells powerful stories.



Alibi is an award winning production company that drives to the edge in developing and producing fresh and compelling work across mediums. Shredding the boundaries of filmmaking, we develop and produce in formats as diverse as documentary, docu-drama, drama, lifestyle, and branded content programming.

Grounded in the power of the story, our fully integrated team is known for pioneering techniques in documentary filmmaking, always innovative and inspiring in subject matter and style.

We track and capture true stories by stalking Somali Pirates, witnessing life inside the walls of the Playboy mansion, rolling with the Hells Angels and Banditos MC, hitting the road with Black Sabbath, acquiring sub-zero survival skills with the Inuit, or fleeing from mayhem at the bloodied hands of Al-Qaeda in Baghdad. We’ve shared dramatic sagas in films like The American Wife and Maximum Capacity. We’ve shared brand narratives about sustainable farming with giants like McDonalds, and we've gone fast and high with Westjet for Above and Beyond.
