Our Story

Where we are,
and where we are going.

Creative Dynamic is an EMMY Award winning media firm and production company. We specialize in Original Series, Documentaries, & Commercial Advertisements.

We thread emotional storytelling throughout each piece of content that we
develop. By focusing on the human element – the people at the centre of all CD
projects – we’re able to create honest, impactful stories that not only entertain,
but move audiences.

We have productions underway in Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami and Los
Angeles; and there are many more in development and pre-production that we
are excited to make a reality in the next 6-12 months.

Nicole McClain

Dir. Post-Production

Nicole’s a gifted storyteller who’s been crafting tales since she was a child which became the ultimate Christmas gift for her relatives. Though she focuses on telling stories with pictures through editing, her resume reads as a well-rounded producer capable of creating anything and everything. Though most passionate about TV drama, she’s an 80s child who loves to mosh to 90s grunge, run and read and has set her sites on a future full of even more varied experiences than her past credits.
