Make a video people actually want to watch.
Human Factor Media is an award-winning video production company with offices in Nashville, TN and Brooklyn, NY.
We are a collective of filmmakers, strategists and artists raising the bar on narrative video. We produce commercials, branded content and social video for our partners.
We've worked with leading brands to develop story-based video content that resonates with viewers - our clients include Amazon, Panera Bread, LG, Marriott, Planet Fitness, Biz2Credit, Adidas, Motrin, Snapchat, the New York Post, True Classic, Blue Cross Blue Shield and more.
We are a soup-to-nuts shop that can handle every step of a project from developing creative concepts to filming and final edits. We have a large studio in Nashville with two sound stages and a full complement of lighting and grip gear.
We believe the best marketing today isn’t marketing at all, but stories that resonate. People are deaf and blind to traditional commercials—they go out of their way to avoid them. We produce branded content videos that create a lasting connection with the viewer.
