Marina Fries is one of those people who brings energy and warmth into everything she does. She is based in Airdrie and is the co-founder of Runway 5 Productions, where she works on storytelling, editing, and shaping ideas into meaningful stories. She has always had a natural eye for capturing moments, and it shows in the way she creates content that feels thoughtful and memorable.
Recently, Marina has thrown herself into scuba diving courses with the goal of expanding into underwater cinematography. It fits her personality completely because she loves learning, exploring, and finding new ways to grow her craft. She is always pushing herself, always exploring, always learning something new that expands her creative abilities as a storyteller.
One of the things people admire most about her is how much she gives back to her community. She volunteered as a photographer for the Special Olympics, capturing moments that meant so much to the athletes and their families. She also volunteers at various community events, always happy to contribute her time and her talent.
Whether she’s building Runway 5 Productions or exploring new ideas, Marina leads with passion, dedication, and purpose. I can’t wait to see where her career goes!

Which ’hood are you in?
I’m located in Airdrie, Alberta, but I’m often traveling to Calgary or Edmonton for work!
What do you do?
I’m an Editor and Cinematographer, currently focusing on growing my production company, Runway 5 Productions. As Co-Founder, I’m always looking for projects to be part of at any stage of production.
What are you currently working on?
Right now, I’m working toward becoming a certified Scuba Diver so I can eventually move into underwater cinematography. I also work with an Albertan YouTube channel, All Tee’d Up Golf, as their Manager and Editor. The channel is growing quickly in its first year, and I’m excited to continue expanding it as I gain more editing and videography experience. I also have a few upcoming projects through Runway 5 Productions that I’m really looking forward to!
