EXKA — Corporate documentary

01 — Challenge

EXKA is a Québec biotech company founded by a plant geneticist: extraction laboratories, tissue-culture labs and ten hybrid greenhouses in Mirabel. Its expertise is real but invisible from the outside — and in a tightly regulated industry, it can't be told through lifestyle imagery. The film had to make the rigour of the work itself the story.

02 — ONDE's approach

We filmed where the work happens: from the air over the greenhouses in winter to the hands of the technicians in the lab. Controlled light, precise framing and a cold, clean grade translate the precision of their process into image, with the people at the centre of the story.

03 — Impact

Beyond Cannabis: a nine-minute documentary that gives EXKA a single piece to present its entire chain — genetics, cultivation and extraction — through the voices of five members of its team. Subtitled in English and closing on EXKA's relationships with specialty pharmaceutical companies in Europe, it was built to speak to partners well beyond Québec.
