Short-form video · Toronto

You run the place.
I'll make the reels.

One two-hour shoot at your business. Five short-form videos back in your hands within 72 hours.

Book week by week. No contract, no retainer, no lock-in.

Where this comes from

Handheld Creatives is new.
My track record isn't.

Before this, I built and ran my own e-commerce company. Everything below came from that business — my own money, my own camera, my own mistakes.

200K+

Followers I built from zero across platforms for my previous company — no ad budget, no agency.

Top 2%

That company was recognized in the top 2% of small businesses. I've been the owner on the other side of the camera.

How it works

Four steps, one afternoon of your time.

Most of the work happens after I leave. Your job is to keep doing what you already do while I film it.

Step 1

We talk first

A short call to learn your business, your customers, and how you want to come across. No shoot gets booked before this.

Step 2

I scout your space

I look at your light, your product, your atmosphere — and figure out whether a staff member can be on camera or whether I should bring an actor.

Step 3

Two hours, on site

I show up with everything I need and shoot around your day. You keep serving customers.

Step 4

Five reels in 72 hours

Edited, cut for vertical, ready to post. Yours to use anywhere — feed, ads, website, all of it.

Pricing

Two ways to work together.

Start with one shoot and keep the files. Move to monthly when you'd rather hand the whole thing off.

Straight answers

The things owners ask me.

Nobody on my staff will go on camera.

Common, and fine. I'll tell you at the scout whether we shoot product and atmosphere only, or whether it's worth bringing in a UGC actor. Plenty of businesses never show a face.

What do I have to do on shoot day?

Be open. Tidy the counter. I work around your service — I've run a business, I know what a rush looks like.

Do I own the videos?

Yes. Feed, stories, paid ads, your website, in-store screens. No extra licensing fee, no expiry.

What if I hate them?

That's what the intro call is for — we agree on direction before I press record. If something misses, tell me and I'll recut it.

Why not just hire a videographer?

A videographer makes footage look good. I grew my own company's audience past 200,000 across platforms from a standing start — I know what gets watched, not just what looks nice.

Can I stop after one month?

Any time. Monthly is month to month. Single shoots are booked week by week. You are never locked in.
