We’re a video production outfit based in Bellingham, Washington that specializes in video production for the outdoor industry. Since 2015, we’ve been telling stories and helping brands make meaningful connections to their audience. Our mission is simple: Tell stories that move people.
Stories can be told in all shapes and sizes but the work we do generally falls into two disciplines: commercial and documentary filmmaking. We can manage the creative, pre-production, production, and post-production of each project to ensure a streamlined process for our clients from start to finish.
The outdoors never cease to amaze us but amongst that beauty is a constant state of change. We’ve structured our business, processes, and staffing to adapt to the outdoors and the specific task at hand. Our team consists of professionals who are experts in their craft and competent in the outdoors. We’re equally comfortable dangling from a rope or post-holing through the snow.
After producing over 150 episodes on the Backcountry Marketing Podcast, we’ve realized a simple truth. Marketing is storytelling. We believe that storytelling when combined with an effective marketing strategy has an incredible ability to move people, transform a brand and increase sales . If you work at a brand or agency in the outdoor world and you need help leveraging the power of storytelling, let’s chat more and see if we’re a good fit for each other.
Clients typically come to use either two ways. 1) they have a project they need help with or 2) they come to us with a challenge to help overcome. We work with you to establish the goal of your piece, understand key background information, and equip ourselves with the tools we will need to begin our ascent. We know that no two organizations are exactly alike. That’s why we take the time to understand not just the goals of the piece but the challenges you face organizationally. Then, together, we craft a plan specifically suited to meet your needs.
This is where our unique knowledge and skills shine. With your knowledge of your company and our ability to bridge the gap between marketing and storytelling, we will identify and develop a story that harnesses the power of film to achieve brand objectives. We will dig into the resources you provide, conduct discovery sessions and interview potential subjects, seeking a story that has emotional power while achieving your goals. Whether we're creating a feature documentary or launching a new product, we collaborate with you to develop a story that works within your marketing plan.
As we near the end of the ascent, it’s time for the summit push. This is where most other video production companies begin: pre-production, production, and post-production. But to us, this is the final stretch. From here on out it's a matter of executing the plan we've crafted together.
