ABOUT US
One Island Media is a premiere media company creating content with Indigenous Nations, Accessibility Organizations, Non-Profits, Educational Institutions and Research Hubs. We specialize in supporting groups that are often under-serviced but have a greater need than most when it comes to Digital Media. In short, values-driven work is all we do. We don’t try and pick up commercial contracts from businesses or corporate giants. Our entire business is built around the idea that video and digital media has the potential to not only make a large impact but also act as a tool to democratize knowledge in a way that hasn’t been seen since the advent of the printing press.
What does this mean in practice? It means that every project we work on is in some way linked to Education, Culture or the Environment and very often a mix of all three. What makes us especially right for this project is that interviews are at the heart of all our work (or as we prefer to call them, conversations). Over 90% of our work involves interviewing subjects and delivering an output that weaves interviews together to create a narrative. What you’re asking for is not just something we can do for you; it is quite literally what we do every single day.
Mike MorasH | Founder
Prior to moving out west, Mike spent most of his formative years on Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin) territory. He first picked up a camera when he was 2 years old and promptly fell down because at that time cameras were much larger and Mike was much smaller.
Since that day, Mike’s been most comfortable behind the camera. His curiosity continued throughout his time at the University of Victoria where his talents were noticed by various staff members and faculty. His unique understanding of academic subject matter and skills within videography quickly propelled him into the world of documentary filmmaking.
Today, Mike leads the technical side of One Island Media. You will most likely encounter him on set, in his natural habitat. Easy to identify, he will have a camera in one hand and donut in the other.
