REAL PEOPLE
REAL STORIES
REAL MEANING
MankindTV is a film production team that makes honest films for brands built on meaning, purpose, and something beyond just business.
We work with brands where how and why something is made matters as much as the product itself.
We started making these films because trust has been lost in an increasingly artificial online world. People are tired of advertising that feels surface level, disconnected, and unreal. There is a growing fatigue with content that looks polished but says very little.
Genuine stories are memorable.
Genuine stories last for years.
Genuine stories help people feel what a brand stands for and creates trust.
When we slow down and look closely, we find people who truly believe in what they are building. Often, they just do not know how to show that story clearly.
That is where we come in.
We help bring the human story forward, so a brand can be seen, understood, and trusted in a real way.

FEATUREED PROJECTS
DRIFT DISTILLERY
A film that captures the craft and story behind the brand, connecting its Kansas roots to its California spirit. By focusing on people and process, it builds trust and helps customers understand what makes Drift different.
THE DRIVE
A film that captures the connection between driver and the air coled 911 through sound and movement. By focusing on the experience rather than performance, it creates a deeper emotional connection to the brand and positions the car as something personal, not just functional.
Tom Kearns “On Design”
Get into the mind of car designer Tom Kearns and see how instinct, creativity, and clear thinking lead to design that connects with people on a deeper level.
Dana Outrigger Canoe Club
This film was created for the Dana Outrigger Canoe Club to help describe the experience of paddling and help welcome new people into the community. Instead of focusing on competition or performance, the story centers on what it feels like to be on the water and part of something shared and almost spiritual.
Art Of The Record
This trailer for Art of the Record explores the quiet power of music and the physical experience of vinyl in a digital world. Through reflections on sound, memory, and emotion, it reveals how something as simple as a groove in a record can carry meaning, history, and connection.
Cuba “It’s only a game”
This film pairs a philosophical reflection on life as a kind of game with real moments of Cuban athletes playing baseball, basketball, and soccer. While the narration questions the idea that play is trivial, the visuals ground it in everyday life, where movement, competition, and joy exist side by side.
Team USA
Womens Beach Handball
This short film captures the strength and precision of the Team USA women’s handball team through black and white, slow motion imagery. Each moment is stripped down to its essence, the focus, the breath, the movement of the body as the athletes prepare, release, and follow through.
Sunday Drive | A Porsche Story
This film follows a simple escape. The Sunday drive.
In the quiet of early morning, a driver takes the road with no destination. Just time, space, and the sound of an air cooled engine. It becomes a moment to think, to feel, to reset.
The Porsche 911 is not shown as a product. It becomes the way back to something real.
Art Of The Car | “The Search for Perfection”
The Art of the Car is a short film about the passion, patience, and precision behind a handmade custom car. What begins as a story about building a car becomes a deeper look at craft, obsession, and the pursuit of something exceptional.
OPERATION RAINBOW
A short film about compassion, service, and the quiet power of showing up for people who need help. The film centers on the impact Operation Rainbow has in Guatemala, where even a few moments of care, time, and attention can mean something deeply personal to the people receiving it.
It is a story about generosity, human connection, and the difference people can make when they choose to give their time, skill, and resources to help others.
