Bannister Bergen

Bannister is a producer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. From development to delivery, he has worked at every level of media and has helped usher a multitude of projects from concept to screen. As a Creative Executive in Los Angeles, he helped develop feature projects for Hollywood studios. After moving to Vancouver, he developed and produced projects for the international marketplace with Brightlight Pictures and Great Pacific Media. In 2017 he shifted focus to online audience building and digital marketing. He has since developed Stories for Caregivers, an initiative designed to generate awareness for unpaid, unrecognized caregiving. Through Stories for Caregivers Bannister has produced over 20 web series - over 25 hours of content - which have earned over 35 million views thus far. The initiative's success has led the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO) to recognize Stories For Caregivers as an online service that fulfills the "shown in Canada" requirement of other funding programs, including the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit. Bannister is also a mentor to new filmmakers and a screenwriter who has completed scripts for multiple Disney Home Video titles.
