Who We Are
We are social impact filmmakers working with the change makers of the world to tell moving stories that inspire and uplift humanity. Over the last 25 years we’ve come to specialize in short form documentary style films and commercials that focus on social and cause marketing- driving donations, building awareness, and mobilizing supporters to action. Our creative and strategic chops include a smorgasbord of brand solutions (including partnering with folks like Plus Media Solutions) to take impact to the next level.
We are award-winning storytellers who put our clients objectives at the forefront of our work, bringing huge heart and immense value to every single collaboration. Organizations return to us for our 3 decades of filmmaking expertise, and because of the deep care we take with the stories we tell. We are personally invested in how the work ripples into the world. To that end, we partner only with organizations doing the essential work of making the world a better place: more empathetic, enlightened, and just.
