Great stories rarely happen the way any of us planned. That's why we don't just make films, we figure them out.

We've been at this for more than 35 years. From our early MTV days to network television hits, award winning documentaries, and commercial campaigns, we've built a reputation for solving impossible production challenges while getting the human story and most of the time having a little fun along the way. We even buy the first cup of coffee.

Non-profits and NGOs

Over the years, we've partnered with organizations like Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, World Vision, World Bicycle Relief, and MedGlobal, documenting everything from natural disasters and humanitarian crises to long-term development projects around the world.

We've stood in the aftermath of tornadoes in Iowa, hurricanes along the Gulf Coast, tsunamis in Indonesia, and earthquakes in Haiti. We've documented medical missions in Gaza and Ukraine, bicycle programs that transform communities in Zambia, and the development of written language in Ethiopia. These stories remind us that filmmaking isn't just about capturing what happened. It's about helping people understand why it matters.

Our partners in the humanitarian world keep us grounded. They remind us that behind every headline is a person, every challenge is an opportunity to help, and that, at the end of the day, we're all responsible for one another.
