Corporate video production in New York

Documentaries, brand, recruitment and internal films, and the video marketing that gets them seen, for clients including Fortune Brand Studio, Glean and Intuitive.

We make films for organisations with a hard story to tell and a sceptical audience to tell it to. From Brooklyn, we run shoots across the US, and bring in our other seven studios when a film needs them.

Our New York studio is in Building 77, 141 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn. Lydia Chan, Global Managing Director, leads the team, with Georgia Hammond and Felicia Jamieson as Executive Producers.

Case study · Gravitee

AI Agents: How Do We Take Back Control?

Most companies are putting AI agents to work faster than they can control them. Gravitee asked us to make a documentary about it, not another webinar.

  • ClientGravitee
  • HostAlex Kantrowitz, founder of Big Technology
  • FeaturingRamesh Raskar (MIT), Theresa Payton (former White House CIO), Ambica Rajagopal (Michelin), Sharon Gai and Gravitee CEO Rory Blundell
  • Filmed atMIT, Washington DC, New York and Lyon
  • DeliveredA 25-minute documentary, plus trailers for launch
  • Year2026

The brief

Gravitee helps companies manage and secure AI agents. It wanted the people who run technology at large companies to take the risk seriously, and to see Gravitee as the company asking the right questions.

The idea

A real documentary, with an independent host and voices from MIT, government and industry. Gravitee's own research with 750 technology leaders frames the question, and the experts argue it out.

What we did

Jake Joynson produced the film from our Barcelona studio, with shoots in the US and France. Our editors cut hours of interviews into one 25-minute film that feels authoritative and is easy to watch.

“We were impressed by their experience in making documentaries; they knew exactly what to do.”

Nick Bennett, VP of Brand, Gravitee, on Clutch, June 2026

Case study · Fortune Brand Studio x Zurich

Justin Rose, Sustainable Goals

For Fortune Brand Studio and Zurich, a campaign with three PGA golfers became four shoots in four places, run as one production.

  • ClientZurich
  • PartnerFortune Brand Studio
  • FeaturingJustin Rose and two more PGA golfers
  • Filmed inThe Bahamas, Scottsdale, Las Vegas and Chicago

The job

Three golfers, three schedules and four locations, for one campaign that had to look and feel like a single piece of work.

How we ran it

You approve a written treatment before anything is filmed. If you can't be on set, you can watch over an HD remote dial-in, so the client and the studio see every shot as it happens.

“Casual are the best people I've worked with in the industry.”

David Lennon, Executive Creative Director, Fortune Brand Studio

How a New York project runs

One producer, from the first call.

Every project starts with the job the film has to do and the people who will watch it. Storypulse™, our audience-led method, maps your channels, rivals and audience before we write a word. Most films take about eight weeks from brief to finished film.

Brief

Tell us what the film has to do. Lydia or a named colleague replies within two working hours.

Treatment

You approve a written treatment before anything is filmed, and nothing goes into production until you're happy.

Shoot

We film in New York, across the US or abroad. If you can't be on set, watch over an HD remote dial-in.

Edit and launch

We cut the versions each channel needs, then set the titles and metadata so each film gets found.
