Generation Studios
We all carry stories—memories that shaped us, people we still think about, moments that live in our minds but never quite made it into a photograph or video.
What if you could take those stories—the ones you’ve told over dinner, or never told at all—and turn them into a film? Not a slideshow. Not a clip show. A real, cinematic story. One that captures how it felt. Who you were. What the world was like. One that reflects your memory—and expands it.
That’s what we’re building at Generation Studios.
Technology That Turns Conversation into Cinema using AI
At Generation Studios, you just tell your story. We listen, ask the right questions, and help shape it into a cinematic film that reflects your memory—and brings it to life. Learn more.
Mr. Canada, A New Nation’s Hero
A new wave of patriotic fervour is sweeping across Canada—and with it, a hunger for heroes who reflect the country’s strength, complexity, and character. Enter Mr. Canada: part educator, part entertainer, and fully committed to the idea that knowing where you come from makes you stronger.
With cinematic feats of strength, sharp intelligence, and a deep knowledge of Canadian history, mythology, politics, and geography, Mr. Canada is more than a character—he’s a cultural force.
Whether rescuing Bonhomme de Neige from the ice, flying his modified Arrow across the North, or riding an icebreaker through the Arctic in February to deliver heat to Quebec, Mr. Canada does more than just show up—he shows us what this country’s made of. From moving fuel by rail when the pipelines freeze to breaking down the Constitution in a ballad, he captivates audiences of all ages. He’s also a rising recording artist, with original tracks streaming now on Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube. Blending satire, truth, and just the right amount of swagger, he makes learning about Canada unexpectedly fun—and unforgettably powerful.

Mr. Canada’s AI Election Guide
Election coming up? Not sure who to trust? Mr. Canada built something for that.
It’s a decision tool that reads the party platforms, analyzes 25 years of economic history, and breaks it all down by region, income group, and real-world impact.
Ask it anything—from who has the stronger housing plan to how Canada’s economy compares to Germany’s. It won’t tell you how to vote. It’ll make sure no one else decides for you.
🧠 Built for voters. Powered by facts. Check it out here.

AI & The Future of History
AI is changing the way documentaries are made—streamlining research, scripting, and editing, and making the process more accessible to more people. A growing number of creators are already using these tools to produce short films that would have been out of reach just a year ago. At Generation Studios, we’re building on that momentum with Spell, a tool that turns spoken memories into film. Learn more.
