Who We Are
We are storytellers, filmmakers, and creative partners dedicated to revealing the authentic narratives that make brands truly connect with their audiences.
Founded on Authenticity
Driftless Films was born from a simple belief: every brand has an authentic story worth telling. In a world oversaturated with generic content, we saw the need for something different—films that reveal the genuine character and mission driving companies forward.
We take our name from the Driftless Area, a unique geological region untouched by glacial drift, where the landscape remains authentic and unaltered. Like this remarkable terrain, we believe in preserving and showcasing what makes each brand genuinely unique.
Our approach is collaborative and intentional. We don't just create videos; we uncover the stories that already exist within your organization and bring them to life through cinematic storytelling that resonates with your audience on a deeper level.
Based in New York City, we work with brands globally, always maintaining our commitment to authentic storytelling. Every project begins with understanding who you are, not just what you do.
What Drives Us
Authentic Storytelling
We believe every brand has genuine stories that, when told honestly, create deeper connections than any marketing strategy. Our role is to discover and reveal these authentic narratives.
Collaborative Partnership
The best stories emerge through collaboration. We work closely with our clients as creative partners, ensuring every film reflects their true character and mission.
Cinematic Excellence
We combine professional-grade equipment with artistic vision to create films that stand out in today's crowded media landscape while serving strategic business objectives.
Purposeful Impact
Every film we create is designed to serve a specific purpose—whether building trust, attracting talent, or inspiring action. Beauty and strategy work hand in hand.
Story First, Always
We operate on a simple principle: the story comes first, and everything else serves that story. Technology, techniques, and trends change, but authentic human connection remains constant. By focusing on genuine narratives over flashy effects, we create films that not only look beautiful but also create lasting impact for your brand.
