Hi, I’m Essey Harnet Mebrahtu, a multi-faceted media production professional based in Ottawa. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve built a track record in cinematography, videography, and content creation, delivering compelling commercial ads, events, and social media content. I’m fluent in English, Tigrigna, and Amharic, and I have strong French skills. I excel at turning client visions into polished visuals through skilled camera operation, lighting, and production design, paired with a proactive, collaborative approach to storytelling.
Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams—from six-person cinematography crews to marketing and design collaborations—developing storyboards, shoots, and color-graded edits using DaVinci Resolve and the Adobe suite. I’ve contributed to campaigns for AEON-Multimedia and Cadmans Bagels, and my MBA and a Certificate in Arts and Cinematography underpin my mix of creative and business-minded thinking. I’m passionate about creating high-impact media that resonates with audiences while meeting timelines and quality standards.

This short video project was a project that I had to bring to light because it was in the actress’s head for years and couldn’t find someone with the competency to deliver as desires with such emotion, creativity and quality definition.
