Founder & Creative Lead
Tom Acton
Tom is a producer and director of films and commercial content, bringing award-winning creative work together with business and technology development. Based in Calgary, he leads corporate films, commercials and feature-length documentaries from development through delivery, drawing on international production experience. NewPath's work has spanned five continents and eleven countries.
His work with NewPath Influence and New Path Pictures includes directing, producing and co-writing Close the Divide, alongside feature documentaries that premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival. NewPath's five Rosie Award wins span corporate production, documentary screenwriting, directing and public service announcements. With a background in psychology, Tom brings a close understanding of people, audience and motivation to the stories he tells.
That same understanding informs his hands-on work with AI, software development and custom creative workflows, including NewPath's Slate platform, now in development. He connects research, story development, production planning and editorial review with the realities of running a business. His focus is practical: give talented people better tools, make the creative process easier for clients, and build lasting value from every production.

Videographer & Core Editor
Mark Riddle
Mark is NewPath Influence's full-time videographer and core editor, a five-time Rosie Award nominee with a decade of production experience. His work with NewPath has taken him from New York to Toronto, Vancouver and throughout Alberta and the Prairies. He leads filming and editing on corporate, event and non-profit projects, bringing a strong visual eye and a clear understanding of what each story needs.
He brings a filmmaker's eye to both the camera and the edit. His work on NewPath's The Cage: 20 Years Strong earned 2025 Rosie nominations for documentary editing and cinematography, sharing the latter with Tom Acton. His background in short films and music videos adds a feel for composition, performance and pace, helping him anticipate the edit while the cameras are still rolling.
For clients, that means a creative partner who listens carefully, finds the strongest moments and follows through. Mark keeps your goals, your audience and your deadline in view, delivering polished work while making the process straightforward for the people relying on him.

AI in the pipeline.
People at the heart.
We're integrating AI into our production pipeline to support how we organize material, develop ideas and approach post-production.
That goes hand in hand with extraordinary talent on the ground: directors, cinematographers, animators, editors and sound professionals. Technology supports the process. People shape the story, make the creative decisions and oversee the final work.
