Troy Manning

Creative director and documentary filmmaker. 14 years, 30+ productions, 17 countries, 10 million viewers. CBC, VICE, Youtube, BBC. Every project has pushed me toward whatever technology was next — and that instinct shapes everything I do.

Today, as a freelance creative director, I work at the edge of what's possible. Right now that means generative AI filmmaking — concept to final cut — blending traditional cinematography with tools most people haven't heard of yet. I care about data sovereignty, own my infrastructure, and believe creators should control their work end to end.
