Lucas & Liam Legacy.
Brand films, documentary storytelling, live-event production, and campaign media built for Atlantic Canada — by someone who grew up here.
Tourism operators, heritage organizations, and conservation groups that need stronger public-facing media.
Brand films, documentary pieces, and polished website and campaign assets built to inform, attract, and convert.
Directed by Lucas Cotton, backed by Telile broadcast work, published press coverage, and real-world regional storytelling experience.
Shared response to story-driven conservation work
Strong conservation storytelling can make complex public issues clearer, more engaging, and more likely to connect with the people who need to understand them.
“Gilbert was a strong and engaging piece that helped bring an important salmon issue to life through creative storytelling.”
A studio built at the intersection of craft and place.
"Local stories. Broadcast craft. Built by someone already here."
Lucas & Liam Legacy Studios is a Cape Breton cinematic production studio founded by Lucas Cotton. We help tourism operators, heritage organizations, and conservation groups turn local stories into brand films, documentary work, and digital identity systems built to attract attention, earn trust, and stay useful long after launch.
What makes us different isn't the tools. It's the place. Every frame we shoot comes from someone who grew up on this island — who knows what the fog off the Bras d'Or looks like at 6am, what a Cape Breton voice sounds like, and why the stories here matter. We don't parachute in. We're already here.
Our documentary work airs on Telile Community Television. Our animated characters — Cod B'y and Puffy of the Atlantic Cinematic Universe — are built on primary source historical research. Our music releases under Rogue Tide.

Stories People Remember
Community response to work that informs, moves people, and makes local stories more engaging to watch and share.
-
“Omg made me have tears, soooo true. The voice is unreal and the way you speak is very touching and the way you present, awesome”
-
“Every episode has been informative & just so nice to see & share, kudos guys!”
-
“Lucas & Liam deserve this recognition! Their projects are very creative, and historical. I could see them being utilized in the educational system. I really enjoyed history when I was in school. But I think I would have learned more if it was presented in this format.”
-
“These could be used in schools. Excellent teaching devices and so much more interesting than an adult droning on at them.”
What we make.
Work that helps people connect
The goal is not just to explain an issue, but to make it land emotionally and clearly enough that people stay with it.
“I’ve never doubted that some people will identify with these videos and be motivated to act.”
Five ways to turn what you do into public-facing media that works.
Every package is handled by Lucas directly — no account managers, no agency layers, no footage shot by someone who's never been here. Whether you need to attract visitors, strengthen public trust, document local history, or explain a conservation issue clearly, each option gives you polished media you can actually use. Prices below are starting points — every quote is custom, and every discovery call is free. Project schedules are confirmed after the discovery call. Full deliverables and scope terms live on the Story Packages page.

The Clapping Stopped.
Written in solidarity with 2,200 CUPE Nova Scotia long-term care workers — on strike across 24 homes from Yarmouth to Glace Bay.
During COVID, long-term care workers across Nova Scotia masked up, doubled shifts, and walked straight into outbreaks. When families were locked outside — they were in there. Holding hands. Sitting with people in their last hours so they wouldn't be alone.
We called them heroes. We said we'd never forget.
This is what forgetting looks like.
In the record.
