Telling stories that stick like an earworm.

Telling stories that stick like an earworm.

Content is everywhere. But one good story can do more than ten trend-chasing videos. Let’s make that one.

We make commercials the old-fashioned way: built on story; built to last. If you just need content churn, we might not be your people. But if you want something crafted, something meaningful — we’ve got you covered.

From billion-dollar brands to kitchen-table startups, we’ve helped shape projects from social spots to full campaigns, TV ads to branded docs.

Yes, we use all the modern tools and tech. But the magic? It’s in the storytelling. Good stories, made with wow.

DON BARFUSS

Director. Producer. Patron Saint of Pre-Production.

Director. Producer. Patron Saint of Pre-Production.

Don has produced video content for everyone from mom-and-pop nonprofits to multi-billion-dollar brands like Intel, Oracle, and Amazon — and somehow still finds time to color grade his own edits and give impassioned pep talks about the importance of eye lines.

With more than a decade of experience (but hey, who’s counting?) across 200+ projects (actually counting), he’s worked in nearly every role on a production — from creative lead to crew wrangler to quietly surviving background work on the Fallout series.

Most recently, Don has helmed high-impact projects funded by the likes of NBCUniversal, and helped secure over half a million in grant support to amplify nonprofit storytelling, launch community-focused campaigns, and build a paid Fellowship for emerging filmmakers. But don’t let the numbers fool you — it’s never been about the résumé for him.

It’s about the work. The impact.

And maybe, just maybe, the satisfaction of nailing the shot in one take.

KELTY HEPPLER

Detail-obsessed. People-first. Chaos-tamer.

Detail-obsessed. People-first. Chaos-tamer.

Kelty has spent the last 9+ years in Utah’s commercial, film, and television scene, doing just about everything short of holding the boom with her foot (though never say never). She’s worked with brands like Architectural Digest, Coleman, Merrell, and Columbia — and teamed up with HBO, Amazon, and Hulu. So yes, she’s basically been everywhere you want to be.

Specializing in production, Kelty has worn nearly every hat on set, from PA to 1st AD. Known for her sharp time management, organizational wizardry, and knack for working seamlessly with talent and crew alike, she runs a tight ship — one that floats on a foundation of inclusivity, creativity, and (usually) caffeine.

A creative powerhouse, Kelty has independently written, funded, and produced multiple short films, proving that her passion doesn’t clock out. Her directing style blends emotional storytelling, lifestyle, and dance-based movement — creating work that doesn’t just look good, it feels good too.

TOGETHER

Well, together Don and Kelty bring big-agency brains and garage-band spirit. Minds that know how to deliver but refuse to stay inside the box. A Rolodex full of pros, ready to crew up on a dime. A knack for turning first-time clients into long-time fans.

Because you don’t need a million-dollar budget to look like you have one. That’s their Voltron-form superpower: telling grounded, human stories that hit like Hollywood but price like neighborhood. Big fish it all you want — they won’t tell.
