Creative video agency in Boston.
We’re the video team Boston brands call when the brief is to explain a frontier scientific or technical idea, when a film has to land in a clinical trial communication, a Series B funding round, or a research-fundraising pitch without dumbing the science down. London creative team, US-based crew, working across Cambridge, Kendall Square and the Route 128 corridor.
Video production for Boston brands
Video production in Boston is shaped by a single category most other US cities don’t have at scale: the science-and-research economy. Half the briefs we see here come from biotech and life-sciences companies, university research groups, healthcare institutions, or technology startups whose founders trained at MIT, Harvard, BU or Northeastern. The brief is rarely “sell something” - it’s “explain what this is, why it matters, and why a non-specialist audience should pay attention.”
That’s a craft brief. The films that work in Boston are the ones that turn a frontier scientific or technical idea into something a layperson can act on without dumbing it down for the experts who built it. We’ve been making this kind of work for years - for research institutions, universities and technical organisations - and the craft transfers cleanly to Cambridge, Kendall Square, the Longwood medical area and the Route 128 tech corridor.
Our US office is led by New York-based Creative Director Pierre Jampy, and around 40% of our work now happens across the Atlantic. We have made work for Google, Snap, J&J and Anthropic, including the Google Agency Conversations series featured on this page, where industry leaders unpack how AI is reshaping marketing, the same translate-the-complex craft a Boston research brief demands.
Why brands in Boston work with us
Boston isn't one market. It's four overlapping ones, all of them research-led - and the brief reads slightly differently in each.
Biotech, pharma and life sciences. Cambridge and Kendall Square together form the densest biotech cluster in the world. Series A through IPO companies, large-pharma R&D labs, contract research organisations. The brief is usually “explain a frontier mechanism of action, a clinical trial result, or a new platform technology in a way that lands in 90 seconds with non-specialists.” Craft over commercial.
VC-backed tech startups. Boston's tech scene is smaller than SF or NYC but the Series A and B founders are some of the sharpest brand buyers in the US. Brand films for funding-round comms, customer-evidence films, product-launch films, founder explainers. The reference points are Stripe and Linear, not Salesforce.
Higher education and university research. MIT, Harvard, BU, Northeastern, plus the constellation of smaller research institutions and labs. Programme films, fundraising campaigns, R&D announcement films, science-communication shorts. These briefs need editorial restraint and a high bar for taste - corporate-feeling output is the worst possible read.
Healthcare and clinical institutions. Mass General, Brigham, Boston Children's, Dana-Farber. Patient-story films, programme-evidence shorts, fundraising films, clinical-trial communications. Sensitive, craft-led, never sales-led - and often the most rewarding work to make.
The common thread in Boston is translation: taking a mechanism of action, a clinical result or a frontier technology and making it land with a non-specialist without dumbing it down for the experts who built it. That is a craft brief, not a volume brief. We run pre- and post-production from our London hub, bring US-based crew to the shoot, and put senior creative on every project, so a Series A startup or a research lab gets the editorial bar of a much bigger budget.
Find the fun isn’t a slogan for us - it’s how we run a set, and American clients feel it from the first call. Around 40% of our work is now made in the States, shot everywhere from New York to Nashville to San Diego, with our own US entity handling the crew, the insurance and the paperwork. We’ve spent years building networks of American filmmakers who are talented, energetic and down-to-earth. We regularly pitch against the big US agencies and come in leaner - with higher creative ambition.
On location across the US
We have production networks all across the US, with recent shoots in New York, LA, San Francisco, Nashville, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Washington DC, San Diego, Portland, Seattle and Salt Lake City. Every project runs on our split-crew model: a creative lead from our core team holds the brief and the find-the-fun ethos, working alongside US-based crew we’ve spent years getting to know - people who aren’t just talented, but energetic and down-to-earth on set.
Pre-production and post run through our hub team, which keeps budgets lean and quality consistent - whether the shoot day is in Boston or anywhere else in the country.
How we make video for Boston brands
The process is the same one we run from London - the only difference is which side of the Atlantic the crew steps off the truck on the shoot day.
- Creative brief. One conversation, two outputs: the brief we work from and a one-page agreement of what success looks like.
- Research. Customer interviews, competitor reels, category audit. Forty-eight hours, not four weeks.
- Strategy. The single most important thing we get right - what this film is actually trying to do, and what it shouldn't try to do.
- Creative development. Treatments, scripts, storyboards. We bring two routes, you pick one.
- Production. The shoot day in Greater Boston, with US-based crew. Director, producer and editor on the call all the way through.
- Distribution + performance. Cuts for paid, owned and earned. The distribution plan is part of the brief, not an afterthought.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have a Boston office?
We don't keep a leased office in Boston, and we wouldn't recommend choosing a video partner on that basis alone. We're Delaware-registered with US-based crew across Greater Boston - Cambridge, Kendall Square, the Longwood medical area, the Route 128 corridor - through partner studios and freelance teams we've worked with on previous biotech and research projects. Most of our Boston clients prefer this model: one creative team holding the brief, multiple crews on the shoot, no overhead in your fee.
How much does video production in Boston cost in 2026?
Every project is scoped individually - deliverables, shoot days, talent and post-production all move the number, so we don’t publish a fixed rate card. What keeps our budgets lean is the split-crew model: senior creative direction from our core team, US-based crew on the day, and pre- and post-production run through our hub rather than billed at big-agency rates. We regularly pitch against large US agencies and come in leaner. Tell us your budget and we’ll tell you honestly what it can buy.
Can you make biotech and pharma films?
Yes. We've made comparable life-sciences, research and institutional films in the UK, and the craft transfers cleanly to biotech and clinical briefs. We handle NDAs, IP-handling protocols, clinical-photography rules and trial-communication compliance per shoot.
Do you work with university research groups?
Frequently. Programme films, fundraising campaigns, R&D announcement films, science-communication shorts. The brief is usually less commercial and more editorial - a film that sits comfortably alongside university branding without feeling like an ad. That's the work we do best.
How fast can you turn a Boston shoot around?
Standard timelines: kickoff to first cut in 4-6 weeks for a single-day shoot, 8-12 weeks for a campaign or programme film. We can compress for time-sensitive briefs (funding-round announcements, clinical readouts, conference launches). A typical fast-turnaround shoot for us runs about 10 working days across two weeks.
