Big Feels. Smart spend.
This highlight reel shows what’s possible when creative ambition meets production precision. From stormtroopers to drone shots to moments of quiet connection, everything here was produced with tight budgets, clear planning, and a deep respect for the people on both sides of the lens.
Events
Built in Real Time. Felt Long After.
Mr. Smith Studios produced and filmed every event in this reel. From charity galas to industry gatherings at Lucasfilm, Pixar, and Dolby Labs, each one was built to bring people together with purpose and momentum.
We build events with a sense of flow and craft the moments when networking feels effortless.

Learning Never Really Ends.
This reel spans online campaigns, learning modules, and classroom content — but it’s about more than curriculum. It’s about showing people at every stage of growth, captured with the same care and craft we’d bring to a feature film.
From academic frameworks to moments of personal triumph, this is education made vivid — with meaning, motion, and cinematic precision. .
Highlight: Seventy
Seventy miles. Seventy years. One step at a time.
This short documentary follows Michael Graney-Mulholland — “MGM” to her friends — as she walks 70 miles in seven days to celebrate her 70th birthday.
What begins as a personal goal becomes something richer: a reflection on time, intention, and the forward motion we carry through life.
Shot with a small crew and an open heart, Seventy captures the rhythm of one woman’s journey — crafted with care, and carried forward through every frame.
HIGHLIGHT: JUMA 25
Legacy in Motion. The Future in Focus.
To mark their 25th anniversary, Juma asked us to help tell their story — with no archival video and only a collection of stills from over the years.So we leaned into what we did have: great voices, thoughtful interviews, and images that carried meaning. We kept the camera moving, scored it with care, and focused the story on the people who built Juma — and the future they’re investing in.
The video premiered at their celebration and helped raise more money than any event in their history. That part wasn’t ours — but we’re proud to have helped it happen.
Highlght: instructional
WE Brought the Drama.
Presidio Surgery Center needed an instructional video for patients preparing for knee surgery — not the most riveting subject matter.
So we gave it structure, polish, and a touch of cinematic tension. Cast with professional actors and shot like a daytime medical drama, the piece carries just enough energy to make you wonder what else might be going on.
Performances hint at backstories that aren’t there. Eye contact lingers. The visuals are clean, the overlays are clear — and somehow, it all just works.
It’s instructional content, elevated through subtle storytelling and deliberate craft. Still in use. Still holding attention.
