Hi, I’m Ken Diewert and since attending Vancouver Film School back in 1990/91, I’ve worked in television commercial production, broadcast television, and student films. I’ve crawled with 40 pounds of camera gear through jungles in Central America, and shot a myriad of other things – from real estate videos to creative promotions. And absolutely loved every minute of it.

It is said that when you love what you do, you’ll never work another day in your life. I’m truly blessed in that I absolutely love the work I do.

Thank-you to all my clients who’ve helped to let me ‘live the dream!’

When I’m not filming, I’m editing… Actually, in my off-time I can be found helping coach my son’s  baseball team, or casting flies (and telling lies – as the saying goes). I also love to watch my daughter dance ballet.

Cutlass Film is named after our property on Protection Island off the east coast of Vancouver Island (near Nanaimo, BC). The island has pirate themed streets, and our property is on Cutlass Lookout.

As of January 2010, the cameras we use to cover Vancouver Island are:
