About the studio
We believe every brand has a powerful story waiting to be told. At Mineral Media, we’re not just a video production company; we’re your guides on a cinematic journey to uncover the authentic “diamonds” in your narrative. We transform these stories into impactful marketing assets that genuinely connect with your customers and influence your audience. We specialize in crafting high-end cinematic visuals for adventurous companies worldwide, delivering them in a grounded, relatable manner.
Our journey began long before Mineral Media was established in 2020. With diverse backgrounds spanning news, entertainment, travel, non-profit, corporate, and narrative production, our team brings a rich foundation of experience to every project. This unique blend of perspectives equips us to craft truly remarkable and compelling narratives, no matter the subject. Since our founding, our productions have taken tens of thousands of miles – from the bustling streets of Paris to the vibrant canals of Amsterdam, and across the United States from San Francisco to our nearby hub at O’Hare. We’re always ready for the next adventure, eager to tell your story, wherever it may be.
