The Art of Production, The Spirit of the Ibis
OUR JOURNEY
Dada Ibis Media isn't just a production company; it's the culmination of a shared vision. Founded by Richard Raghoo and Haydn Wazelle, our roots trace back to the vibrant film community of Vancouver, where we first crossed paths at one of Canada's most prolific studios. The Scarlet Ibis, the national bird of Trinidad & Tobago (where our parents and Richard were born), symbolizes our vibrant spirit and unique perspective. ``Dada,`` inspired by the avant-garde art movement, reflects our commitment to innovation and pushing creative boundaries. We've woven our diverse expertise – from creative producing and production management to finance and business affairs – into a company that champions independent filmmakers, and domestic and international partners looking to maximise creative and financing opportunities.
