ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
ITHENTIC is an award-winning digital content company focused on developing, producing and distributing narrative-based properties for all platforms. We are digital storytellers – equal parts genre-bending live action, wisecracking comedy, trailblazing animation, and indie film with a dose of social conscience. We create our digital content for traditional broadcast, OTT platforms, iOS and Android tablets and smartphones, and social media. HQ’ed in Toronto, we also have offices in New York and Los Angeles in hot pursuit of “the good stuff” seen on iFestivus.
