Profiles

Engaging video portraiture compels us to take a deeper look at our world, question assumptions and feel empathy and connection. We continue to travel globally to explain larger issues and themes through the lens of individuals. Innovative researchers and scientists, athletes and entertainers, the famous and comparatively anonymous — all are at their best at unforced and candid moments that only make their way to screen with sensitivity and collaboration.

From use of audio-only interviews to a discreet footprint in the field, our methods put subjects at surprising ease. The result is compelling, award-winning work, no matter the subject or person at its center. Enjoy some examples below by clicking on each photo frame grab to watch and learn more.
