Awaken Productions
About Us
Awaken Productions was founded by two friends with a passion for the backcountry, filming and bringing communities together. Since then, the team has grown to a quality film production family.

Meet the Man Behind the Lens
Josiah Smith - Awaken Productions Founder
Josiah has a passion for filming, photography, the backcountry and community. He has a great eye for capturing those special moments.
​
He was raised between the communities of Moose Pass and Trapper Creek. His vibrant personality not only brings life to his videography and photography but it also brings people together.
​
He started the annual Awaken Productions Winter Film Premier that features his annual film along with other talented videographers. The event also gives sponsors an opportunity to grow their brands and make community connections.
