OriginHeadshotandTeamPhoto93of96 min - Our Team

Origin Films was founded in 2017 by lifelong best friends, Pouya Mirzaei and Danny Bui. Our journey began back in grade 5, bonded by a shared love for film. By grade 6, we were already creating videos together for school projects, driven by pure passion and creativity.

Today, what started as childhood dreams has grown into a full-fledged video production company, trusted by top brands like McDonald’s, Pepsi, Remax, Under Armour, Call of Duty, and People’s Magazine. We specialize in commercials, corporate videos, organic social media content, and more, including collaborations with innovators like Jon Youshaei and Hacksmith Industries.

We’re committed to telling stories that inspire and captivate, honouring our roots while always looking forward.

Meet The Team.
