CINEMATOSCAPE is an award-winning film and digital media company based in Toronto. We excel in visual storytelling with a focus on projects for the screen. Our work includes short films, branded digital content, independent films, and commercials. We believe in the power of stories to illuminate, inspire, and engage through an immersive cinematic escape. 

CINEMATOSCAPE founder Simeon Taole (he/him) is a filmmaker and modern day renaissance man – an avid writer, director, performer, and composer – he brings a unique blend of creative and technical skills to the company. Simeon is a graduate of University of British Columbia and Vancouver Film School and has over a decade of experience in post production, beginning as an editor and eventually as a Post-Production Studio Operations Manager.

Simeon’s creative work with CINEMATOSCAPE has included directing an award-winning film, Everything Changes, which played at numerous film festivals, and creating an award-winning performance in the theatrical production, The Space Between. The unique solo production toured Canada and had a special Off-Broadway engagement in New York City. Simeon’s work was also recognized with nominations for “Best Independent Production”, “Best Solo Concert”, and “Best Leading Actor” from Broadway World Toronto.

Danielle Ungara (she/her), a co-founder of CINEMATOSCAPE, has produced a range of large-scale arts events and festivals, and she’s produced projects for the stage and screen. Danielle’s project management and communication skills are seen as an asset during development, pre-production, production, and post-production. Notably, Danielle co-produced The Space Between, which premiered in Toronto.  The show received rave reviews by audiences and critics alike and went on tour across eastern Canada. After several award nominations, The Space Between also toured Off-Broadway. Danielle worked with several sponsors, resulting in one lucky audience member going on a trip-of-a-lifetime to South Africa. 

CINEMATOSCAPE created the art installation INTERSPACE expanding on the themes of the play as part of Toronto’s Nuit Blanche 2022. This immersive film was showcased across six screens spanning over 200 feet in length and meditated on the event theme ‘the space between us’. The project soundtrack embedded the voices of community, gathered through community-based arts engagement with North York Arts. Danielle remains committed to collaborating with artists, and is interested in stories that explore our collective humanity and inspire discourse on the important social issues we face today.

It all begins with an idea. We know that at the heart of every great project is an engaging story. We believe every engaging story evokes powerful visual imagery – creating a truly ‘cinematic escape’.

CINEMATOSCAPE continues to create compelling short and long form visual content across film and digital media.
