Bringing Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School to Life on Screen
“In the Foothills of Appalachia there is a place…”
When Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in Mountain City, Georgia, approached us to craft high-end cinematic videos, we were all in! Over the years, we’ve built a strong partnership with this prestigious international boarding school, producing standout content that captures its unique spirit and community.
Our collaboration has resulted in a compelling series of films: a flagship ad in 2021, two ads and a fundraising video in 2022, and three student profile ads in 2023. From securing top-tier cine lenses to working with industry-leading rental houses, Rabun Gap trusts us with every stage of the video production process—because they know we deliver.
What makes this school so extraordinary isn’t just its academic excellence, but its vibrant, tight-knit community of future leaders and innovators. Rabun Gap isn’t just a school—it’s a launchpad for dreamers, a place where potential turns into purpose.

“They’ve been unjustly persecuted…”
This award-winning wildlife documentary explores the world of rattlesnakes in Appalachia and the growing challenges they face—from habitat loss due to new housing developments to widespread misconceptions and unjust persecution.

Cinematic Documentary Series for Missouri Humanities
“A series of mini-documentaries about the events in Missouri…”
We partnered with Missouri Humanities to produce a compelling series of mini-documentaries designed to drive engagement and increase visibility for their new platform, H*TV.
Capturing the rich cultural and literary heritage of Missouri, we attended and documented some of the state’s most unique annual events. In 2024, we helped establish a documentary presence for Hermann’s Maifest, Washington’s Bookfest, STL LitFest, and more—bringing these vibrant traditions to life through cinematic storytelling and high-end documentary filmmaking.
Executing these productions required meticulous planning. From coordinating interviews with key figures to capturing critical one-time-only event footage, every moment had to be carefully scheduled. We handled equipment rentals, crew scheduling, and logistics, ensuring that each shoot ran smoothly and that we never missed an essential shot. This level of organization allowed us to craft engaging, visually stunning mini-docs that truly showcase the heart of Missouri’s cultural scene.

This production required careful coordination, from scheduling early-morning shoots to capturing the rhythm of the bakery in action—where every cup poured and every pastry made tells a story of dedication and quality.
Through cinematic food cinematography and immersive storytelling, we brought their daily rituals to life, inviting audiences to experience the warmth and craftsmanship that make White Birch Provisions a beloved community staple.
The Art of Hospitality: Showcasing Stay INN the Heartland
“Where will you stay?”
At Stay INN the Heartland, we’ve curated a collection of unique lodging experiences across the Heartland of America! From charming bed & breakfasts and boutique hotels to converted silos, treehouses, and vacation rentals, each stay is as distinct as the travelers who visit.
Bringing this vision to life through high-end hospitality video production required precise scheduling and seamless coordination. With limited time at each location, we worked closely with property owners, managers, and booking teams to ensure smooth filming logistics. Every shoot was carefully planned—from capturing golden-hour exteriors to staging inviting interiors—while moving efficiently to maximize our time.
The result? A visually stunning showcase that highlights the charm, character, and comfort of each Heartland Certified Stay—a stamp of approval ensuring that every property has been thoughtfully inspected and approved.
