How we goT here…
Kelly Milner was raised by wolves in the Yukon, then cut her professional teeth working across the North as a journalist before getting drawn into the uncharted world of First Nations land claims and wildlife co-management.
For almost two decades she was lost in the wilderness of briefing notes and community consultations until one day she overheard her daughter talking to her friends about what their mothers did for work, and she was dismayed to hear her say “My mom goes to meetings”.
Determined to show her girls they should always follow their dreams, she found a way to combine her experience working across the North with her creative storytelling roots, establishing Shot in the Dark in 2014.
Telling stories that matter is what drives her. She is now a producer, director and writer. Her documentaries have won numerous national and international awards.
Now her daughter says “My mom makes movies.” Much better.
It takes a team
A mighty team creates the best results. Shot in the Dark collaborates with talented and tireless professionals at every step of development, production and delivery. We start with a creative strategy and then join forces with the right crew for the project.
We credit our success to our skilled circle of writers, co-producers, camera operators, sound recordists, photographers, editors, composers, animators, graphic artists, digital producers, event coordinators, marketing and communications specialists.
We love our teams…
