Documentaries and brand films that dig into the heart behind companies, organizations, and people. Then they give your audience a reason to act.
From NFL star Cam Jordan in New York to pro angler Jacob Wheeler's $100K win to a day inside a microschool.
Griffin Road Media is a documentary and brand film production company based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and documentaries are arguably our favorite projects. We love capturing stories in a long-form way that gets past the talking points to the people, the stakes, and the moments that make an audience care.
A brand film does the same job for a business. It is the signature piece that defines who you are and why your work matters, built for your website, your sales team, and every big moment.
Films built to whatever length the story needs, for premieres, anniversaries, and launches, like the 7-minute 20 Years of JTF.
The signature video on your homepage and in every pitch. Primer plays theirs at parent interest nights.
Story-driven pieces for YouTube and social, like the 18-minute story of pro bass angler Jacob Wheeler's $100,000 Bass Pro Tour win, cut from 30 hours of footage in four days and now past 72,000 views.
Fast, documentary-style pieces for agencies and talent, like Cam Jordan in NYC for The Team (formerly Wasserman).
For Manifold Vision, the plan was three short videos. After the shoot we recommended a mini-documentary instead, because the story deserved it.
Netflix-approved cinema cameras and a crew built for each project. We cut 30 hours of footage into Jacob Wheeler's 18-minute documentary in four days, and once shot five interviews, a walk-and-talk, b-roll, and drone in under six hours.
Every film is made for a specific screen and audience, then cut down for social and email.
Detail-oriented, creative, strategic, efficient, and a master storyteller.
A 20-minute call with Kyle about the story, the audience, and where the film will live.
We research, pick the voices, and map the arc before the shoot so production days count.
We film, edit, and deliver the main film plus a trailer and social cutdowns.
There is no set length. We make documentaries at whatever length the story needs, from short films for a gala screen to long-form pieces like Jacob Wheeler's 18-minute documentary, plus shorter cutdowns for social and email.
A commercial sells one thing in 30 seconds. A brand film tells the story of who you are and why it matters, and it keeps working on your website and in pitches for years.
Yes. We are based in Chattanooga and regularly shoot across the Southeast, and we have filmed as far as New York.
It depends on the story and the number of shoot days. When timing matters, we can move fast: Jacob Wheeler's 18-minute documentary was cut from 30 hours of footage and delivered in four days.
Founder and DP Kyle Delk leads every project personally. For each production he brings in crew from his network of trusted, highly experienced collaborators, sized to what the project needs.
