About Robin
After graduating from film school in Thunder Bay, Robin began his career as a full-time videographer at a renowned Vancouver media production company. There, he worked on a range of projects — commercial, artistic, and wedding coverage — gaining firsthand experience in fast-paced, client-focused environments.
He later joined the in-house marketing team at CenturionPro as a Video Producer, where he developed a deeper understanding of brand strategy and internal communication. This dual experience — both behind the camera and within a brand — gives Robin a unique ability to bridge creative vision with marketing goals.
In 2022, he founded Robin Ferand Studio Inc. and relocated to Vancouver Island, where he now focuses on story-driven video production for local artists, tourism boards, and commercial clients. Robin often partners with brands that value craftsmanship, community, and environmental awareness. Located on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, he draws daily inspiration from the land, stories, and people of the Pacific Northwest.
While this site focuses on his media production work, Robin also maintains a personal portfolio dedicated to film photography and environmental storytelling. You can explore that ongoing project at robinferand.com.
Robin Férand is a French filmmaker and photographer based on Vancouver Island, BC. For over a decade, he has created film and photography work for brands and organizations across Canada and France — including PwC, EA Sports, Century 21, and Travel Alberta.
““In a swift and ephemeral media society ruled by TikTok and Instagram, I want to step back. A call to document the places around us today that may look different tomorrow.”
If asked to summarize my goal in one sentence, that’s probably what I would say. Through films and stills, I aim to tell one true, good story to raise awareness and captivate the client’s audience. I craft compelling and unique narratives by seamlessly blending elements of commercial, documentary, and fictional videos.”
“Whenever I explore iconic places, I’m eager to uncover their history. The evolution of a location, whether shaped by natural forces or human intervention, has always fascinated me. That’s why I film these places. Then, through meticulous editing, I blend my footage with archival films and photographs, creating a bridge between yesterday and today. I find this juxtaposition incredibly captivating.
Each image tells a story, and looking back into the past reveals how much we have evolved over the centuries and how humanity has impacted the Earth—both for better and for worse. But it also highlights what remains to be explored and protected. It’s a way to celebrate the richness of time and the evolution of our environment.”
