Pedro Miguez is a Toronto-based director, cinematographer and video journalist with over 15 years of experience telling character-driven, research-heavy stories across broadcast news, documentary and commercial film.

…

After studying cinema at York University and the University of Southern California, Pedro began his career in 2007 working in the camera department on Hollywood studio productions like FLASHPOINT and THE LISTENER, honing his craft through the industry’s shift from 35mm film to early digital cinema. In 2011, he returned to his native Brazil, where he led cinematography on commercials, short films and documentaries — including two seasons of the factual series BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH for TV Brasil.

Since returning to Canada in 2016, Pedro has directed, shot and edited stories across news, documentary and commercial work — including science and technology segments for CNN International’s long-running Tech for Good program, and on-camera field reporting as a video journalist for NBC News, Al Jazeera, The Economist (UK), TVO and XPRIZE. His client roster also includes Mastercard, Samsung, Johnnie Walker and IBM.

He’s drawn to stories that take something dense — a scientific breakthrough, a piece of research, a breaking news event — and find the clearest, most human way to tell it on screen, with an eye for lighting, composition and pacing that keeps viewers watching.

Recent work includes SOUNDS BLACK, a 4-part music documentary series for The History Channel nominated for a 2026 Canadian Screen Award for Best Documentary Series, several short documentaries produced and shot for the CBC, and the feature documentaries HOW TO MAKE A HIT TOY and VINCE CARTER: LEGACY.

Based in Toronto, Canada, available worldwide.
