FILM·HEALTH·EDUCATION

ORCA LAB is a production company with projects across television, film, education and health.


Whether we’re working on film sets, in school classrooms or on the sports track, we’re focused on fostering community, inclusive processes, human-centered storytelling - and creating conditions for change.

Film


ORCA LAB: FILM is a production company, with the founding principle of re-imagining the conditions of filming.


We believe that a more sustainable and inclusive production model leads to more imaginative, high-quality content.


Health


ORCA LAB: HEALTH is a wellness hub that changes how we approach fitness & health.


What if the way we move changes the way we think?  What if we could run faster, for longer, by doing less?  


We provide new ways of training for everyone: from elite level athletes to musicians, from people recovering from acute & chronic injury, to children with disability.

Education


ORCA LAB: EDUCATION is a collaborative that believes we are long overdue an educational revolution.


We contend that schools were set up along industrial lines, remain antiquated in the way they teach, and that with the advent of Chat GPT, we need to re-think not just what we teach, but how we teach.
