Mankind creates human centered films and photography for brands and agencies from the first idea to final delivery
What we do
Your company or client has a story worth telling, but finding the part people will care about and communicating it clearly can be difficult.
We uncover the people and purpose behind the work, then shape that story into cinematic film and photography that builds understanding and trust with those you serve.
Selected projects
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.
INTEGRATED BRAND FILM: Drift Distillery
A film that captures the connection between driver and the air cooled 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.
A Porsche Story: THE DRIVE
INTERNAL BRAND FILM: TOM KEARNS ON Design
Get into the mind of the Chief designer of Kia Motors American, Tom Kearns and see how instinct, creativity, and clear thinking lead to design that connects with people on a deeper level.
A watch can stop keeping time without losing its meaning. At Stephens Watch Repair, many watches carry the memory of a parent, grandparent, or someone deeply loved. For more than 46 years, they have brought these pieces back to life with patience, skill, and care. Because sometimes it is not just a watch. It is a connection to someone you never want to forget.
Brand Values film: The Watch Makers
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.
Promo brand film: The Outrigger
HOW WE WORK
Every project begins with listening. We learn about your company, your audience, and what you need to communicate. Then we find the strongest story, develop the approach, build the right team, and guide the project through production, photography, post, and final delivery.
Some projects begin with carefully developed agency boards and we find the heart of the story and help bring it to the surface.
Other projects begin with a conversation and questions which help develop a roadmap for the story.
We can work from established creative or help discover and develop the story from the beginning.
From creative development through production and final delivery, we can guide the entire process.
