+ This is folio Films

We take the expression “show, don’t tell” to heart. Rather than telling everyone what you want them to know with the same transparent marketing video, we craft the stories that represent who you are on a deeper level to help you connect with clients, consumers and investors in the most genuine ways. We have roots in photography, journalism and independent filmmaking, telling stories viewers trust and believe in. Our track record includes work for leading news organizations including CNN, VICE, the Washington Post, The Economist, Al Jazeera, and NBC. We've brought that expertise to organizations like JP Morgan Chase, Tonix Pharmaceuticals, The University of Chicago, Dandelion Energy and Bells Brewing. We make films, videos, photos, series and livestream for businesses and non-profits with compelling stories to tell the world. We work with clients to produce videos that directly advance business objectives but don’t feel like the marketing of yesteryear.

+ Film Production

We are first and foremost filmmakers, writers and photographers, telling stories that make viewers understand the genuine beauty and deeper truthes ranging from docuseries pilots to award winning short films to original Folio Films productions. When we collaborate, our work always follows a process born out of the ethics of independent filmmaking and we pride ourselves on being able to tell more authentic stories because of it.

We know how to make people feel comfortable and don’t treat them as the subjects of a film. We treat them as a collaborator, allowing us to dive deeper into their story.

We can do this because we’re a small, lean production. We don’t show up with 25 people. We do nearly everything in-house, from partnering with you to craft a message and tell your story, to filming and production, to editing and delivery. We tell the most authentic story so that viewers, be they consumers or stakeholders not only understand the importance of the work, but also believe in it.

+ Digital Marketing

We translate our experience in film to work with companies and non-profits across sectors with important missions that we believe in. We don't want to work with you once, we want to learn your story, your brand, through and through and help you connect and engage with the world throughout the lifetime of your company. Think of us as your in-house video team, but without the office politics and the health benefits.

Our past clients have included companies looking to bring attention to to their innovative work, businesses striving to share meaningful testimonials with the world, foundations reaching out to raise awareness about the impact of their investments on communities, innovative teams at big banks offering knowledge and educative materials to their customers and liquor brands opening up about the stories behind their products.

In each case, we loved getting to know each and every one of our clients and their stories - because that's what we love to do - and we can't wait to hear your story and help you tell it.
