Our Narrative & Documentary feature work has been recognized at festivals around the world, including Sundance where our first feature narrative project won a Special Jury Prize awarded by a Quentin Tarantino-led jury. We have shot over 150-pieces of branded content for clients as diverse as Gatorade, Kellogg’s, Wendy’s, Microsoft, Toyota, US Bank, Tennessee Tourism, NAPA Auto, Stella Artois, and Disney.

We like to work on projects that inspire, challenge, and aspire to make the world a better place. We specialize in making people FEEL. In fact, we lead with our hearts. It’s been our experience that people remember something longer and with more fidelity if they feel something. Our work, for the most part, attests to that.

"born in bristol: the untold story of the birth of country music"
Everyone knows where Rock n' Roll came from, but no one knows where Country Music was born. Combining fictional reality (re-enactments that play more like scenes from a narrative movie) and interviews with Country Music legends such as Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Steve Earle, and Sheryl Crow, this documentary feature film shines a light on one of the most unrecognized yet momentous occasions in Country Music history: The 1927 Bristol Sessions, where popular Country Music had its commercial birth.
