Hey there! I’m Samuel Burrows, a Director, Editor and Travel Photographer based in the Toronto area, specializing in overflow and full-service video production. Since diving into filmmaking in 2007, I’ve focused on unscripted adventure television and corporate video production. My expertise spans Directing, Camera Operation, Photography, Video Editing, Project Management, and Storytelling, backed by an advanced Diploma in Film and Television Production from Humber College.

I’m inspired by opportunities to tell great stories, and I love collaborating with others to bring those narratives to life. Over the years, I’ve created compelling corporate content for SBM and partnered with production houses on projects for brands like Earth Rated, Microsoft, Tim Hortons, Sport Chek, and Cotopaxi. Each collaboration has enriched my storytelling approach, proving that everyone has a unique perspective that can enhance a project.

Currently, I’m the Director of Production at Heliconia, an Ottawa-based adventure television production company. I oversee a talented team of 15+ staff, working on seven television series, including Epic Trails, Facing Waves, Great Family Adventure, Adventure Cities, Outdoor Eats, Road Trip Angler, and Hook, Line & History. You can catch our shows on major networks like National Geographic, Bally Sports, FanDuel Sports Network, Amazon Prime, Discovery Channel, NBC Sports, PBS, Apple TV+, and more.

My journey in this industry has been a thrilling adventure, allowing me to refine my skills while working with fantastic creative teams. I aim to create impactful video content that resonates with audiences and effectively communicates compelling stories.
