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 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. If you work at a brand or agency in the outdoor or adjacent industries and you need help telling a story, let’s chat more and see if we’re a good fit for each other.
The beginning of every project starts with a lot of questions. We need to understand your goals, marketing strategy, call to action, audience, timeline, and budget.
With our goals in place, now we can begin the creative process. We work with our clients to develop project briefs, treatments, and scripts. Need help to figure out the creative? We can do that too.
Film production is a logistics puzzle. We handle all of the logistics in-house to ensure a streamlined production. In this phase, we manage things like crewing projects, talent, locations, permitting, schedules, call sheets, etc.
We design each production to fit the needs of the project. A typical crew size ranges from three to twenty people on set. Much like your crew might change depending on the activity, so does ours. Every project requires a slightly different skill set depending on the activity unfolding in the viewfinder. We have an extensive list of collaborators we hire per-project to ensure the right team for the right job. Need a crew who understands the nuance of mountain biking? Check. How about rock climbing? Yup, we can do that too.
With the footage in the can we handle post-production in-house to shape your vision into reality. In this phase, we handle the details like sound design, mixing, and coloring. Our job ends once we’ve handed you the media files.
