About Us

Based in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, Gabe Kirkley and Thomas Smith have been working together in film and theatre for over a decade. Working as directors, videographers, and editors, we have a passion for storytelling and a love for the craft of filmmaking. More often than not, we work together, combining our skills to create the best possible product for our clients.
We shoot on Sony Cinema Line cameras with premium lenses, high-end audio equipment, and have an industry-standard lighting and grip package that is capable of illuminating large spaces and creating cinematic looks with precise control.

Gabe Kirkley
Gabe first began filming backyard movies with his friends as a teenager and has never really stopped. These days, he's thrilled to have grown what started as a side project to a full-blown company with his best friend Thomas. Aside from Kirksmith, he is a director, writer, marketer and software engineer. When he's not telling stories or writing code, he loves reading history, lamenting another Canucks season, hanging out with his wife and their cat, and travelling.

Thomas Smith
What started as a fun pastime for Thomas in high school has turned into a fierce passion; bringing creative stories from the page to life. Bringing Kirksmith to life with his best friend has been a dream project come true. When not working in film, Thomas can be found performing, directing, and writing for the stage, or chipping away at his ever increasing backlog of video games.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Kirksmith Creative. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us directly.
Getting Started
Our projects typically start at $750 for simple promotional videos and range up to $10,000+ for comprehensive commercial campaigns. The final cost depends on factors like video length, locations, number of shoot days, and post-production complexity. We provide detailed quotes after our free consultation where we understand your specific needs and goals. We also offer discounts for non-profits and charities!
Absolutely! We're based in Vancouver and Abbotsford and regularly serve clients from Vancouver to Chilliwack, including Abbotsford, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Langley, Mission, and everywhere in between. Travel inside our regular service area is included in our project fees with no extra charge.
For most projects, we recommend booking 3-4 weeks in advance to ensure availability and proper planning time. However, we understand business moves fast and we can often accommodate rush projects within a few days if our schedule allows.
The Production Process
Everything you need from concept to final delivery: initial strategy consultation, script development (if needed), pre-production planning, professional filming with broadcast-quality equipment, post-production editing, color grading, sound design, music licensing, and final delivery in multiple formats optimized for your intended platforms.
Not at all! Many clients come to us with just a goal in mind ("we need more customers" or "we want to showcase our new location"). We handle concept development, scripting, and creative direction. If you already have ideas or copy, we'll work with that too.
Most projects are completed within 2-3 weeks from our initial meeting. Event recap videos are delivered 3 business days after the event. Simple promotional videos can be turned around in 1-2 weeks, while more complex commercial projects may take 3-4 weeks. We'll give you exact timelines during our consultation based on your specific project scope.
We handle everything! Our team arrives with professional equipment and takes care of all technical setup. Your job is simply to show up looking great and be yourself (or direct your team). We guide you through each shot, handle lighting and audio, and make sure you feel comfortable throughout the process.
Working Together
Yes! We work with everyone from solo entrepreneurs and local non-profits to established corporations and real estate teams. Our approach scales to match your business size and budget while maintaining the same high production quality.
Yes! Beyond creating content optimized for different platforms, we offer comprehensive social media strategy services as an add-on to your video projects if desired. This includes content calendars, posting strategies, platform-specific optimization, and ongoing campaign guidance. We always deliver videos in multiple formats (square for Instagram, landscape for YouTube, stories format for TikTok/Instagram Stories) and can help you develop a complete plan for using them effectively.
We include two rounds of revisions in all our packages because we want you to be completely happy with your investment. Additional revisions beyond two rounds can be accommodated for a small additional fee.
Technical & Practical
We shoot on Sony Cinema Line cameras with premium lenses, high-end audio equipment, and have an industry-standard lighting and grip package that is capable of illuminating large spaces and creating cinematic looks with precise control. Our post-production suite includes industry-standard editing software and color grading tools. You'll get the same technical quality as much larger production companies.
Yes! We have extensive music libraries and create custom graphics, titles, and animations as needed. All music is properly licensed, so you'll never have copyright issues when posting your videos online.
You'll receive your video optimized for your intended use, whether that's web streaming, social media, broadcast, or presentation use. We typically deliver a 4K HD version and any platform-specific formats you need (square, vertical, etc.).
Definitely! Almost all of our work is done on location. We bring our equipment to you, whether that's your business, a special venue, or multiple locations throughout Fraser Valley. We like to scout locations in advance when needed and handle any necessary permits.
Specialties & Services
While we work across all industries, we have experience with real estate, corporate communications, theatrical productions, and local events. We understand the specific marketing challenges and opportunities in Fraser Valley's business community.
Absolutely! We specialize in creating authentic testimonial videos that don't feel scripted or awkward. We guide your customers through the process and help them share their genuine experiences in a way that resonates with potential clients.
Yes! We create training videos, onboarding content, and instructional materials that turn complex processes into clear, engaging content. These are especially popular with businesses looking to improve consistency and reduce training time.
We offer professional event coverage and can coordinate livestreaming for special events, product launches, or corporate meetings. Our multi-camera setups ensure your online audience gets a polished viewing experience.
