Here to entertain, educate, and inspire

Stories help understand ourselves and others.

It is not just about creating, sharing, and amplifying stories. It is about using them as a tool to better connect with ourselves and the world around us.

What Monnery Films does is making stories, viewpoints, and approaches, more available to ensure we listen before we act.

Through factual and fictional films, trainings, and resources, you will have access to elements that might inspire, entertain, educate, and empower you or people around you toward positive change, in your life and others’.

Why now?

Unity partly resides in people wanting to connect with each other, and that desire can stem from a better understanding of who we all are and our adversities—we become compassionate toward people when we know what they’re going through.

In today’s world, where the planet is literally burning, countries, communities, and organizations feel so far from each other, divided. We need to listen to one another more than ever.

This is why Monnery Films is not just about creating and sharing content, but amplifying as well. Because how can you hear about positive people or accomplishments you don’t know exist in the first place?

The combination of storytelling and filmmaking that Monnery Films chooses to do is just one solution out of many.

Unity partly resides in people wanting to connect with each other. So together, let’s create, share, and amplify stories, viewpoints, and approaches, all toward understanding, connection, and in the end, unity.

Monnery Films' Origin Story

With negative and toxic experiences, self-limiting beliefs, and fear of failure, Jean-Francois Monnery, Jeff for short, came from France to Vancouver, Canada—considered at the time as North America's second largest film and entertainment production centre—with the dream of creating the next Super Mario movie. (among others)

From the hopes of becoming a better version of himself, and a passion for storytelling and filmmaking, Jeff created Monnery Films in 2019, which mission was then to only promote businesses and nonprofits with video marketing.

This spanned into helping others become a better version of themselves—and inherently not making a film about an impressively athletic plumber………… yet.

Today, Monnery Films is not only about promoting personal and corporate brands with meaningful brand films through its business side Monnery Videos, but also inspiring people to take action in helping themselves and others, educating on topics around mental health and self-development, and entertaining moviegoers in films that do not involve eating mushrooms to be empowered.
