a story can’t tell itself.
Let me properly introduce myself.
My name is Hunter Parkinson, I’m a multimedia producer based in Guelph, Ontario. I first began my media journey in 2017 at Fanshawe College’s Broadcasting-Radio program, where I fell in love with so much more than just radio.
Something I realized during my time at college, was what I was truly passionate about: storytelling.
Storytelling has been something that’s quietly commanded my attention since a young age. I wasn’t cognizant of it at the time, but the videos, movies, games, and music I gravitated to were ones that told a compelling story I couldn’t shy away from. They commanded my attention.
As I got older I began writing short stories, on my own time and for select courses in school. It finally clicked when we began working on videos in my Multimedia Course, first year of college. I realized that every form of media can be used to create a compelling story, and that with enough practice I could become a great storyteller on my own merit.
And, being the man I am, I decided to do so with every possible medium I could find. I began learning how to produce music & write compelling lyrics. I worked on audio production and sound design in school. I studied visual design and cohesion. I began working at a media company and working on side projects in any possible way I could; all to chase that feeling.
The feeling of telling a great story.
While I still have lots to learn, there is a fire within me that begs me to continue my journey to tell great stories every single day. I’d like to share that with you.

I began work with OwnersBox Media in 2021. I started off as an Assistant Video Editor, with only a small handful of experience, and a drive to learn.
We were a small team with big dreams and something to prove in the sports media space, and eventually became innovators in the sports entertainment social media industry.
Through my tenure at the company, I managed to work my way into a Lead Video Editor position, taking the reigns and producing 12-20 pieces of content each week ranging from short-form storytelling videos for TikTok and Instagram Reels, as well as long form storytelling/trivia videos.
As our team began to grow, I then took the mantle of Media Production Manager, hiring on a small team of like-minded editors.
During this time we managed to grow two Youtube Channels to 50,000 subscribers each, a TikTok page with 250k Followers, and an Instagram page with 43.2k followers. Culminating in millions of views over the 5 year span I was with the company.
