As a collective of filmmakers, documentarians, journalists, photographers, and artists, Kiln digs for stories that brands can stand with and behind, stories that amplify their ethos. True stories, ones that are backed by research, creative development, and a commitment to human narratives. 

We’re both an agency and a production company, and also neither of those things. We’re an award-winning, human-powered creative studio, experts in finding the real and turning it into films and photos audiences choose to engage with, ones they will remember.

As journalists and documentarians, our bar for a story is high. As filmmakers and artists, our standards for visual impact are bar none. It’s the alchemy between the two that get audiences to stick around and watch. We don’t let content-churning robots do this work, because, quite simply, they can’t. Only humans can. If you’re looking to reach real-live humans, our real-live humans know how. 

We ask more questions than we answer, and we execute our work with expertise and ongoing curiosity, knowing the truth is rarely what you hear the first time you ask.

Because the real thing is better than anything you could make up.
