Biography
As Co-owner of Eagle Vision, one of North America’s leading Indigenous-owned production companies, Irving has built a body of work defined by cinematic storytelling with international reach and strong festival presence, producing internationally recognized feature films that bridge independent cinema, studio collaboration, and global co-production.
His feature film credits include the Academy Award–winning and Best Picture–nominated Capote; the Berlinale-premiering sci-fi feature Night Raiders; and the Paramount Pictures release Orphan: First Kill. He produced the Emmy Award–winning feature documentary Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On, which opened the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022, and Bones of Crows, which also premiered at TIFF. Additional feature-producing credits include We Were Children, Blue State, Reasonable Doubt, Lovesick, and Deaner ’89, which was nominated for seven Canadian Screen Awards.
Across a 24-year career, Irving has collaborated with leading studios and global partners, including Paramount, Warner Bros., CBS Studios, Universal, Hulu, and AETN, producing more than 300 hours of feature film, premium scripted drama, and internationally distributed content. Alongside his feature work, he has executive-produced high-profile television projects such as the scripted drama SkyMed (Paramount+, CBS Studios), the legal drama Burden of Truth (The CW, Hulu), and the globally successful factual series Ice Road Truckers, which aired in more than 80 countries.
Irving’s productions have received five Academy Award nominations (including one win), multiple Emmy, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Independent Spirit Award recognitions, and more than 60 Canadian Screen Award nominations with 13 wins. In 2022, he and his partners were named Innovative Producer of the Year at the Banff World Media Festival.
Beyond his producing work, Irving is a recognized industry leader and advocate for the independent production sector. He serves as Chair of the National Board of Directors of the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA), and remains deeply committed to advancing underrepresented voices, particularly through decades of collaboration with Indigenous creators. In recognition of his cultural impact, he was appointed to the Order of Manitoba in 2021.
