NewPath Influence partnered with Alberta Innovates to produce a visually stunning and emotionally impactful video experience for Inventures 2024, one of Canada’s premier innovation conferences. Our team was tasked with producing three cinematic opening films—one for each day of the event—designed to set the tone, energize the crowd, and spotlight Alberta’s vibrant innovation ecosystem.

Blending scripted storytelling with real-world impact, each film followed fictionalized entrepreneurs navigating early-stage challenges before connecting with real CEOs and Calgary-based startup founders, including scenes captured at Tech Thursdays, a dynamic community-driven event showcasing Calgary’s spirit of collaboration and ingenuity.

To enhance the experience, we also produced all animated visuals for a 100-foot LED screen, creating an immersive environment that transformed the main stage into a living canvas for storytelling, branding, and inspiration.

Through a powerful combination of scripted narrative, documentary-style interviews, and cinematic visuals, NewPath Influence brought Alberta’s innovation story to life – celebrating the people, the passion, and the possibilities that define the region’s future.
