ANGIE-PEPPER O'BOMSAWIN ​

CO-FOUNDER, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

After getting her start in Concordia University’s Fine Arts Program, Angie-Pepper went on to work on a number of different productions ranging from children’s programs, game shows and socially driven docu-series, all with the express mandate of bettering the representation of Indigenous people on screen and fostering a diversity of voices in the industry.

Her depth of experience led her to co-found KASKO Productions, where she spearheaded television projects, such as Little Big Community and Bull’s Eye, both broadcast on APTN. Aside from that she directed many television projects including Skindigenous, The Ultimate Canadian Challenge, following Donovan Bailey in a risk-taking adventure diving into diversity and so much more and she scripted Chuck and the First Peoples Kitchen, nominated for a Canadian Screen Award.

Her experience as a seasoned Director also led her to launch her solo production company Peppered Films, where she takes on innovative film and television projects destined for both Canadian and international markets.

Even with an illustrious career under her belt, Angie-Pepper has continued to strive to stay at the cutting edge of industry practices, returning to complete two Producers Programs at The National Institute of Image and Sound in 2017 and the National Screen Institute in 2021.

She prides herself on being a positive role model for native youth and a source of inspiration for artistically-driven women. Over the years, Angie-Pepper has consistently centered powerful storytelling in her projects and has clearly demonstrated its continued ability to create transformative and lasting social change.

"At Kasko... When Pepper's not directing her next series, or running a story meetings, she’s challenging her physical self. You can find her competing against herself at a local Cross fit Box, olympic lifting is her favourite way to pass the time.”
