About Coastline Films

Video and photo production, done properly.

Brand films, commercials and content for companies across British Columbia and Ontario. Based in Squamish, BC.

01About us

Filmmakers who think like marketers.

Coastline Films is a video and photo production company based in Squamish, BC. We make brand films, commercials and content for companies that want to look like the best in their category, and sell like it.

We run every project from concept to final cut: strategy, direction, cinematography, aerial, underwater and post-production. One vision and one standard, start to finish.

Small on purpose. You work directly with the filmmakers, every step of the way. No account managers. No hand-offs. Nothing lost in translation. At the core, it's family: founder Jacob DeGrace, his brother Brodie and their cousin Pierre-Luc Arseneau.

02Our mission

High-end visuals that make your brand the obvious choice.

People judge what you sell by how it looks. They see your feed, your website and your ads, and decide what you're worth before they read a word. Average visuals get you compared on price. Exceptional visuals let you set it.

Our mission is to give ambitious brands visuals that match the quality of what they deliver: cinematic films, commercials and content that build trust on sight, hold attention in a crowded feed and move people to book, buy or call. We pair the craft of filmmaking with the discipline of advertising, so every frame earns its place.

    Trust on sight

    Production quality reads as product quality. The first frame someone sees should say premium, credible and worth the price.

  2. 02

    Attention that holds

    Distinctive, story-led work stops the scroll and keeps people watching long enough for your brand to land.

  3. 03

    Action, not applause

    Every edit is cut for the channel it runs on and the job it has to do: book the stay, fill the calendar, sell the product.

03Our culture

You can't fake being out there.

Coastline was built on a simple conviction: the best work in the outdoor, travel and lifestyle space comes from people who actually live it. Audiences can tell the difference. So we built a crew whose time off looks a lot like our clients' best marketing.

Jacob DeGrace has lived aboard sailboats, travelled to more than 50 countries, hiked his share of mountains and logged over 100 solo skydives. Brodie DeGrace is a Divemaster with more than 1,000 dives, a surfer and a climber who has lived all over the world. Pierre-Luc Arseneau is a professional mountain biker, fully sponsored by Kona Bikes.

We work, play and live at the same intensity. That standard is why we're at home where most crews aren't, and why the work looks the way it does.
