We were on hand all week to capture the 2017 Tacoma Film Festival—from screenings to workshops to parties—here’s our look back at our favorite TFF yet (including original music composed in-house!)

promo films // Tacoma Film Festival 2017

We worked with the Tacoma Film Festival once again—this year to help turn their annual poster art into moving pictures as promo videos. We combined original footage with an original score to complete the effect. The best part of this project was driving around Tacoma capturing the footage!

promo film // “LOVE>YOUR>LIFE” : Jessica Uhler Photography

Our friend Jessica has a deep heart and a sharp eye.  This makes her the ideal photographer—especially when it comes to family photography.  With a young family of her own, she muses on her philosophy of capturing the “now” when it comes to those dearest to us.

wedding film // Get Hitched Give Hope : 2013

Our own wedding division The Heart Dept. loved capturing the magic and generosity swirling in the air during Seattle’s 2013 “Get Hitched, Give Hope” — an opulent gala and fundraising auction held last fall at The Four Seasons and one that bore witness to a staggering number of wedding vendors and industry artisans donating their services to an incredible cause.

Sarah reports :

Scott Fitzgerald garden party to shame. I would tell you there was vintage chocolate, but thank goodness there wasn’t—just freshly made, oh so au Continue Reading

video // YOURS TRULY : Pure Bathing Culture

We’ve long admired the intimate, live music filmmaking that the folks at Yours Truly have been putting out for several years now.  We’ve recently had the opportunity to work with them filming and editing videos in Seattle.

The first to be released is this gorgeous song from the good people of Pure Bathing Culture (whom we’ve had the fortune of filming before, first as part of Vetiver’s band at the first Huichica Music Festival and second as part of Richard Swift’s band at the Huichica Music Festival the following year!)
