Revolver Films Expands Roster Through Partnership with Bryght Young Things

Revolver Films, one of Canada’s leading production companies, has announced a new partnership with Bryght Young Things (BYT). A director-owned US production company known for its bold, innovative storytelling, BYT will share a select roster of its directors with Revolver.

“This partnership aims to grow Revolver's offering in the Canadian market to include one of the most exciting companies to emerge in the US market for some time,” said Richard Cureton, managing partner and executive producer at Revolver. “BYT embodies the very same determined nature for creativity that Revolver stands for, and when we spoke to Daniel Navetta (founder and director), it was clear we should further develop our relationship.”

So, just what does this move mean for the local market? Brands and agencies now have access to the distinct and diverse POVs of Jonatán López, Babak Khoshnoud, Anna Pollack, Mikayla Gamble, and duo Sandeep & Chadrick. Proven talents across the southern border, their voices and experience will allow Revolver to speak to broader audiences, benefiting clients and their messaging capabilities.

At the same time, the move opens doors for BYT directors looking to break into Canada’s thriving production landscape. By leveraging Revolver’s established presence and industry connections, the company’s talent can seamlessly integrate into the market, gaining access to projects that may have previously felt out of reach.

“Our directors have had the attention of the Canadian market for some time; it felt haphazard to see our best talent placed with different EPs across the continent,” explained Daniel. “We are so discerning in how we work and who we work with that finding a singular team that understood our ethos, appreciated the stellar BYT talent, and could fast-track us into the best projects was the overall benefit. Luc Frappier (managing partner and executive producer) and Richard are that fit, and we are truly thrilled to see BYT and our directors as part of Revolver Films.”

More than just about creating cool new work and providing access to new talent in a mutually beneficial way, however, this partnership is a chance for both sides to expand a collective creative offering. While Revolver’s local pedigree is already well known, BYT’s emphasis on creativity as a driving force, mentorship, and pushing boundaries will help both companies grow beyond their traditional markets, all while maintaining current levels of culturally-relevant craft.

"Canada has incredible creative energy, and we know that to do it right, we need a partner who not only understands our vision, but can amplify it,” said Chelsea Greenwood, executive producer and partner at BYT. “Revolver Films is that perfect match. Its industry roots and reputation for excellence mean our directors will have the right platform to do their best work, and together, we can create something bigger than the sum of its parts."

Returning the praise, Luc noted, "We’ve always placed a great emphasis on creativity with all of our projects at Revolver, whether it be music videos, commercials, or short-form brand films, and we see that same desire and hunger with BYT, which is why this partnership feels so natural and is very exciting,” to which Richard added, “The [BYT] directors are making super interesting work, and Daniel and Chelsea are great leaders, who we are very happy to be working with.”
