We are inspired by great visionaries in film, art, music, culture, fashion, community, and society.
These visionaries bring to our lives entertainment with thoughtfulness, art that inspires us, music that drives us, culture that shapes us, fashion that enhances us, community that welcomes us, and society that guides us.

Ryan is a Director, Producer, Writer, and Editor at Mediapop, as well as the company’s Founder. He has directed, produced, written, and edited nearly 500 projects in the 10 years he’s been behind the camera.
Ryan Northcott began his career appearing in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show and followed up with roles in Atomic Dog, and Don’t Look Behind You. His break came when he was cast, seemingly out of nowhere, as “Stevie Weeks” in Mystery, Alaska.

We are filmmakers and understand the power of visual persuasion and entertainment.
There is no greater feeling that seeing a production through from concept to realization – from a small idea to a powerful piece of art that can entertain, make someone take action, or promote that next big idea. We are purveyors of that feeling and believe truly in what stories we tell.
Eric Giesbrecht
Producer, Co-Founder, Ramen Lover
He has been in television and theatre industries for over 15 years on the technical side and as producer of films and television. Your typical producer, he balances the line between creative freedom for his filmmakers and writers with the timelines, schedules, budgets, and the intricate details that go into any production big or small.
His style is hard, but fair, yet his beliefs on culture, people, and society is that everyone has something to offer and give to this world. His acute knowledge of film history is incredible and often plays into the way we produce our productions.
We care about what we do because we understand the power we have as filmmakers.
Each idea is a piece of influence and we believe in putting forth concepts and ideas that further our humanity. We find that humanity in cultures and societies that know there is a greater good to everything we do. We make advertisements, films, commercials, branded content, and more, but the greatest thing we create is a caring attitude to everyone we work with and for.
Cultural Influences
The Beats We Work To
Music is a huge part of what makes mediapop stick out from the rest. We spend countless hours searching for the right track for each project we direct and produce. Canned, corny, or styles that don’t match the content are hard to avoid, but we have mastered the ability to find great tracks for our projects.
Giving back to our
community
The power we have as filmmakers and advertisers is the ability to give our time and money to initiatives that we care about.
These are just a few of the initiatives we’ve supported and cared deeply about. From the incredible work at Calgary Youth Justice Society to the champions at the Champions Career Centre. We’ve supported the National Music Centre/Studio Bell, GoFarr Fund Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and donated in-kind to various other charities and causes.
