About

Storiel Entertainment is a production company based in Vancouver, BC. It was founded in 2022 by American-Canadian filmmaker Ariel Bond. Storiel produces original narrative content for film, television, and podcasts, as well as social media for small businesses.

Ariel Bond (she/her) is a writer, producer and director. As a social impact filmmaker, Ariel's focus is adapting true stories that expose uncomfortable truths and act as a catalyst for change. In her directorial debut short film Rupture, Ariel transformed her traumatic experience with an ovarian cyst rupture into a cautionary tale about medical gaslighting, calling attention to the issue of the Gender Pain Gap or the gap in how men and women’s pain are diagnosed and treated differently. 

For her psycho-sexual thriller feature Deepfake, a true story tackling non-consensual deepfake pornography, Ariel received the Equity and Emerging Development Grant from Creative BC, is a semi-finalist for the Athena Film Festival Writers Lab, participated in the Gender Equity in Media Society's Genre Film Lab, pitched at the Frontières International Co-Production Market in Montreal, and was just named one of the inaugural Filmable x The Collective Bunch Feature Film fellows. 

As a producer, Ariel's most recent credit is the short How Brief, directed by Kelly McCormack and starring writer Tess Degenstein and Emmy-winner Tatiana Maslany. Supported by Canada Council for the Arts and WIFT, the film will have its World Premiere at a prestigious winter festival in 2026, soon to be announced.

Ariel has worked for many years as a production supervisor and producer’s assistant on studio projects such as Peter Pan & Wendy and Spider-Man: Far From Home. She is an Academy Nicholl fellowship quarterfinalist and recipient of the Leonard and Eileen Newman Prize for a Promising New Writer. Ariel has a B.A. in Screen Arts & Cultures from the University of Michigan and she holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. She also serves on the board of the Gender Equity in Media Society (formerly WIF Vancouver). In her spare time, she enjoys mentoring aspiring filmmakers from her home state of Michigan and practicing her (mostly terrible) French.
