Built on one unapologetic mantra-RAW. REAL. RESOURCEFUL. STORY FIRST, ALWAYS. Their company creates bold, honest, studio-free work across film, television, theatre, and music, specializing in bringing audiences together and reminding us all that we have more in common than we think. Their projects include Fish Face (2025), Squirrels 2025 (2025), and Chandl6r (2025), with new projects slated for 2026.
Vanzie holds an Honours Diploma in Advertising from the International Career Institute (London, England) and began his studies in Acting for Camera & Voice at Seneca College. There, he discovered the limitations of traditional arts education and has since pursued private, practice-driven training rooted in originality, artistic freedom, and independent creative development.
His theatre training includes work in Performance, Voice, and Improv at the Ovation! Performing Arts Academy and the Toronto District Christian High School (TDCH) under Richard Peters. He later expanded his professional development through Start the Riot Theatre Company's Artist Residency, North Fringe Theatre's Fringe Artists Residency, and the Calgary Fringe University producing workshops.
A multidisciplinary creative, Vanzie's skills also cross over into fashion illustration, special effects makeup, abstract painting, and graphic design-self-taught mediums that continue to broaden his artistic range.
His performance work has earned multiple awards, including the Gold Award - Actor at the Florence Film Awards (2025) for Fish Face, Excellence in Acting and Ensemble Acting at the Golden Box Awards (2019) for Angel Street (Gaslight), and the Multi-Character Performance Award at the TDCH Awards (2015) for A Canadian Adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
