Who we are. What we’d like to do for you.
We are a small cinema team based out of the Chicagoland area who came together to tell stories in a creative and meaningful way. We think about the things, both big and small, that make whomever and whatever we are filming, unique. Here are a few stories we think you’ll enjoy.
Wedding Highlights
Wedding Highlight Film | Pete + Jo
We love to do weddings anywhere–especially if there’s great weather involved :] Pete and Jo survived a long distance relationship over the years with Pete in Chicago and Jo in San Diego, and their journey is quite the story. They tied the knot before a small number of friends and family in sunny, San Diego, CA.
Wedding Highlight Film | Neil + Caili
“We’re kind of sentimental–we enjoy the little things. We like to have themed date nights. You know, if we cook Mexican food, we’ll play music and dress up, wear hats, that sort of thing.” Just a few nuggets that Neil and Caili shared with us that helped us create their film :)
Wedding Highlight Film | Jalpa + Khilan
A three-day Indian affair that did not disappoint. Beautiful colors, festive ceremonies, live music, and a horse. What more could you ask for?
Portrait Film Series
Concept Portrait Film | M + J
Here is a film we created for M + J to tell the story of how they met all the way to their wedding day. M + J ended up using this video as their introduction at their reception.
Portrait Film | JC + Judy
During this shoot, we found out about Judy’s love for baking, JC’s love for sports, and we even got to sample some of Judy’s amazing sugar cookies. This Portrait Film played at their reception and both JC and Judy enjoyed it for the first time along with all their guests.
Portrait Film | Mikey + Becky
We asked Mikey to author a piece that was a reflection of the two of them. He wrote this little poem of sorts entitled, What Makes a House a Home? We were invited into their home to put visual legs to the piece.
Event Coverage | Commercial Films | & The Like
Event Coverage | Portfolio Plus Workshop
We spent a day in the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami helping covering the Portfolio Plus Workshop. It was a fun time filled with learning, teaching, networking, and making new friends.
Commercial Work | Voice of Love
Voice of Love is composed of Koreans, Korean-Americans, American churches and ministries, adoptees and their families, and friends all over the world. VOL is brought together by one goal: restoring the futures of waiting children and reminding South Korea that adoption is a beautiful thing. Here is the story of Young Hwan Lee–grandfather of two adopted children.
Music | Elsinore
We filmed Elsinore at one of their basement practice sessions. This wasn’t an official recording session and this was our first time covering a live band doing… anything :]
Family | The Park Family 5
We’re in the habit of liking short videos. This video, however, is decidedly longer, because we wanted to make sure we told their story in its fullness. This family recently adopted a baby boy from Korea. Because of the paperwork, it was anyone’s guess as to when he would arrive in the states. They asked if we would come along to capture their Family Day–the baby Joel would arrive and officially become a member of the Park Family 5.
