Empty Cup Media is a video/photo company serving clients in and around the Greater Toronto Area.

Colin Burwell started the company in 2005, fresh out of college. The business has grown to be a recognized name in and around the Durham Region, now consisting of 3 employees: Colin, obviously the owner, his business partner Carla Sinclair, who he scooped up from B.C., and co-op student Samantha from Sinclair Secondary. What a team!

The name “Empty Cup Media”  was inspired by a Buddhist story. An American professor sat down with a Japanese Zen Master for some tea and to learn about Buddhism, Zen and enlightenment. The Zen Master poured tea into the professor’s cup until it began overflowing.“Stop! My cup is full!” cried the professor.“Then empty your cup.” The Zen Master replied.

Our business philosophy is to approach our clients with an ‘empty cup’. We let you tell us what you want, and we listen.
