Founder

Stephen Gardner started TrueSelf Productions in 2020 as an extension of his award-winning productions.

A respected creative storyteller in the industry, he’s been in the business for over 20 years, working with international clients and brands around the world from Hong Kong and South Africa to the UK and Canada. He’s used his well-honed strategic skills to produce commercial and video spots for companies including Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Fairmont, Pepsico, Swarovski, Bayer, AstraZeneca, among others.

Stephen was inspired to tell brand and video stories for organizations and key leaders relating to the LGBT+ community. He also saw a gap in the market for brands and organizations looking to celebrate diversity and inclusivity in their workplace.

He carved out a video production company focused exclusively on telling stories about the LGBT+ community, and TrueSelf Productions was born.

He’s also a world traveller, having been to every corner of the globe, exploring new places and meeting new people. Stephen also loves his alone time and is most content in the mountains embarking on solo adventures. He currently lives and works in Toronto.
