California Story Company tells true stories across a variety of platforms in partnership with principled clients and other top craft practitioners around the world. We work as a small-agency collaborative of honored journalists and storytellers who believe deeply in the power of honest, well-calibrated media to create empathy, effect positive change and advance enterprises that seek to create a better world as they grow. 

We eschew artifice and transcend the predictable, relying on time-honored journalistic methods and values to help clients find complex, engaging characters in often unexpected places. Our work strives to be representationally honest and ethically rigorous — true to our subjects, clients and audiences alike. 

Founded first as Old Bridge Media in 2007, our agency creates award-winning video portraiture and multi-part web series that celebrate exceptional individuals, contemporary themes and binding human truths. Select clients often use our work to drive capital campaigns, take center stage at events, gain new business, mark a milestone, advance their brand identity, or underwrite journalistic exploration of an issue important to them. 

We also team with museum designers, animators and illustrators, web and app developers, and interactive designers to consult on editorial development, distill story and help direct it across multimedia landscapes.
