Based in San Diego, California. Ironwood Visuals exists to connect you to your audience through the artistry of immersive, engaging, and cinematic visual storytelling.
We operate as a scalable full-service video production company that expands to the size of your project’s needs with the collective and collaborative relationships we’ve built with our talented film industry friends who we regularly hire onto our film sets.
Our goal is to foster a creative synergy by working very closely with our clients to create powerful concepts that turn into videos and films that reach their audience and the world.
What We Do
Documentaries
Telling informative, investigative, or biographical human stories through organic and naturally-lit cinéma vérité as well as fully produced, visually stunning films crafted on a set with a crew.
Brand & Lifestyle Content
Every company needs to showcase its offering to the world. What better way to show it off than with handcrafted video content made by industry professionals?
Narrative Films
We are keen on cinema. The lighting, the compositions, the intentionality, the energy, the story arc. We’re here for it all. We also have a number of film directors in LA we’d love to refer.
Brand Anthems
Giving your company’s values a megaphone to the world. Who you are, your story, and your offering given the voice that it deserves - an evergreen and beautifully crafted cinematic film.
Commercials
Crafting bespoke narrative-driven commercials and content that look and feel like they belong on the silver screen as much as they do on TV and social.
Testimonials
There is no one better to sing your praises than an abundantly satisfied customer. Let us tell their story of how they found you and how it changed their life… with a beautiful film of course.
Clients Present and Past
Whether our client is a local small business or a Fortune 500 company, our greatest desire is for them to flourish as a result of our partnership. That means a tangible ROI, whether thats clicks, subs, purchases, relationship building, brand awareness, or even smiles. Every project receives our full attention and dedication to a world-class outcome.
Our Values
Collaboration & Camaraderie
There’s nothing better than working together to the betterment of the project, versus having to be the auteur. We like to foster a culture of honest input from everyone on set and in creative meetings.
Health & Sustainability
We want the project to be healthy. We want your business to be healthy. We want us to be healthy. Financials. Expectations. Timelines. Crew culture. Crew safety.
We like non-toxic.
Cutting Edge Cinema
We want to be as up-to-date as possible on trends and technology on film sets from the $200m+ blockbuster to the latest art house indie documentary.
Results
We want every single one of our clients to have at least a 5x ROI on every dollar they invest into our project working together. We define what that is at the start of our partnership. If that doesn’t happen, we want to know about it and help figure out how to change that.
Humility & Integrity
We believe there’s nothing more beautiful than treating each other with love and care. We want every human we encounter to feel that. We also promise to own up to any mistakes we make or problems we encounter during production.
Philanthropy
We believe every person, company, project, and creative venture can and should make it a goal to make the world (and the people around them) better. What greater value-driven ROI is there than that?
