Hi there!
My name is Eden Ocean, and I am a Los Angeles born, Toronto based young filmmaker who recently graduated from Honors Bachelor of Film and Television Program at Sheridan College (Class of 2020).
My areas of interest include Producing, Production management / Assistant directing, Cinematography, Editing, and on occasion, acting for projects.
I love to bring stories to life; my favorite stories are introspective stories driven by complex character relationships, where there is not an unequivocal good or bad guy. For the same reason, I also love documentaries, especially documentary series; there is nothing that can quite compare to the feeling one gets when experiencing an authentic story on the screen.
As a young actor, I was more interested in the operations happening behind the camera than in front of it. I was inspired to go to Sheridan College when I stared in one of their short films. I was so impressed by the skills of the production manager on that set; that it inspired me towards a potential career in production management.
Helping a great story become a cinematic reality is what I love to do, so if you have a vision, then I have a plan.
Some of my favorite feature films include The Thin Red Line (1998), Hesher (2010), A Separation (2011), and Mustang (2015).
Some of my favorite television series include Avatar: The Last Airbender (2003), Departures (2008), Sense8 (2015), Last Chance U (2016).
