About New Horizon Media Arts
Founded in Mississauga, New Horizon Media Arts started with a handful of creative people who came together to create a feature-length documentary about domestic workers in India. Over time, we realized that many social issues and stories needed to be researched, explored, and showcased to the world through the camera’s eyes.
With a background in journalism and media and an eye for heart-felt storytelling, we capture and make unique content on film in the form of documentaries, web series, and even corporate films. Our in-depth research, stunning cinematography, and detailed editing ensure that we create an incredible video every time.
More than anything, we are driven to creating solid content that leaves a lasting impact on viewers and has the potential to improve lives.
