We partner with brands and organizations to produce films that are narratively honest, technically thorough, and authentically emotive.
Creative
IDEATION, SCRIPTWRITING
Our goal is to connect visual excellence and relevant storytelling to your brand. Therein lies the work of creative. You aren’t just another brand and we aren’t looking to make just another video. We want to allow your passion for your brand to merge with our passion for filmmaking. Let’s make something powerful together.

Featured Work
25 Years of St. John Vianney
2024 | CLIENT St. John Vianney Theological Seminary / TYPE Medium-form documentary and development / RUNTIME 12 min / DIRECTED BY Danny Anderson
After World Youth Day 1993, hosted by Pope St. John Paul II in Denver, the Holy Father said that the spiritual revolution would “come from the West.” Over the next few years, plans to open a new seminary at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains developed until, in 1999, St. John Vianney Theological Seminary was founded.
This short-form documentary, commissioned by the Archdiocese of Denver for a Gala celebrating 25 years of the seminary, explores the founding of the school through interviews with those who brought the vision to fruition and who keep it alive today: Cardinal Stafford, Archbishop Aquila, Archbishop Chaput, and alum Fr. Matthew Book.
The Life of a Missionary
2024 | CLIENT FOCUS / TYPE Short-form documentary and promotion / RUNTIME 4 min / DIRECTED BY Danny Anderson / DP Martin Jernberg / ORIGINAL MUSIC BY Brian Lambert
This video is an immersive and intimate look into the day-to-day life of FOCUS missionaries serving on college campuses. The piece interweaves the stories of four missionaries as each go about a routine day, highlighting both the united mission they share and the unique ways in which each missionary is called to live his or her personal apostolate.
For this piece, we had the opportunity to travel all over the country:
University of Southern Indiana, George Mason University in West Virginia, Eastern Washington State University, University of Miami
Be Not Afraid
2022 | CLIENT FOCUS / TYPE Branded content / RUNTIME 2.5 min / DIRECTED BY Danny Anderson / WRITTEN BY Benjamin Acosta
FOCUS, a Catholic Outreach Organization, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2023. We created this video not as a homage to the ministry’s successes over its 25 year history, but as a recognition of FOCUS’ place in the greater story of Salvation History.
As presenting the Gospel is at the very center of FOCUS’ evangelistic work, so too is it the heart of this video. It also includes an opening message from FOCUS’ founder Curtis Martin.
No Eucharist, No Priesthood
2023 | CLIENT St. John Vianney Theological Seminary / TYPE Short-form doc and development / RUNTIME 4 min / DIRECTED BY Danny Anderson
Each year, the Archdiocese of Denver conducts a fundraising campaign for its two seminaries: St. John Vianney Theological Seminary and Redemptoris Mater Missionary Seminary. We had the opportunity to collaborate on this effort for a second time, and 2023’s theme revolved around the Eucharist and its intimate link to the ministerial priesthood.
This piece was created in both English and Spanish.
