Introduce Yourself : Co-Founder, Executive Producer at Wrapped Productions Inc. by Kyle Schmalenberg

Hi all,

My name is Kyle Schmalenberg. I am a writer, director, producer, and cinematographer/editor when I need to be!

I am an award-winning director and producer at Wrapped Productions Inc. I produced the fictional and documentary short films Another World (2021) with Caramel Futures and Who We Are (2019) which are both streaming on CGood.tv. I wrote and directed Glimpses into the Spirit of Gender Equality, a feature-length doc commissioned by the Baha’i International Community and in collaboration with the United Nations, which had its virtual premiere at the Commission on the Status of Women and was officially selected to a number of festivals winning 4 awards (2 for best documentary).

My current projects include the feature drama TENAYA, now in pre-production, which I wrote and will co-direct, and THE PAINTING, a feature documentary which Wrapped Productions is co-producing with Fathom Films.

I was co-creator and facilitator at the Native Film & Storytelling Institute and am involved in a number of grassroots initiatives aimed at promoting BIPOC youth and women in the Canadian film industry.

Prior to founding Wrapped Productions, my commercial work included projects with CBC, Air Jordan, AMEX, AirMiles, Krylon, and Special Olympics Canada.
