Our Mission
"Tell great stories. Celebrate your roots."
Why Do I Need a Video Studio?
Have you ever had a digital marketing agency promise you the moon? Have you tried hiring and managing a network of media creatives for your marketing strategy? Have you considered pricing out the cost of building an entirely in-house video production team? Yeah, that's what we thought.
We aren't the video production studio for every company. But for those who have a plan, need consistent quality output, and aim to stay on target with their production costs.
If that's you, then we may have the content systems you've been looking for! At the price and efficiency you've always wanted.
– What types of businesses does your video production studio work with?
We work with a wide range of companies spanning multiple industries. Any company looking to scale its content efforts fast and effectively. The industries we’ve found much success in are retail, ecommerce, and knowledge-based service work.
– Do you work directly with marketing agencies or internal marketing teams?
Our studio is designed to work with both marketing agencies and internal marketing teams alike. We focus on building remote recurring video content systems that we develop and you guide!
– How does your “plug-in” video production model work?
Our team is built for collaboration. We work within your team to design a remote content system, then we write, film, edit, and deliver ads and video content to you on a regular basis.
– What industries do you specialize in producing videos for?
We currently focus on retail and product companies, but as you can see from our site, we can design video solutions for almost any industry.
– Do you offer both on-location and in-studio filming?
Yes! We go where the story takes us! But we also have in-studio capabilities with a network of sound stages and studio options.
– Can you handle both small projects and extensive, ongoing video campaigns?
Yes, our team has extensive experience providing both.
– Do you provide video strategy or creative direction, or do we need to come up with a plan?
Yes! We can provide both video strategy and creative direction for your ads and video content needs.
– How far in advance do we need to book a shoot?
Size, scoop, and budget all have a significant impact on availability. Be sure to connect with us to find out the projected timeline of your project.
– Where are you located, and do you travel for shoots?
Our team is based in Freeport, Illinois, but built to create anywhere. Our remote ad systems let us produce locally and distribute nationally. However, we’re also versed in on-location production.
The Meaning
"Tell great stories." It does not mean telling the wildest adventures about the most unconventional people. Instead, to look closer at every individual's relationships, environments, and goals and see the parts of their story that make them truly special. Chances are, whether you realize it or not, you have a great story, and we want to help you tell it the best way possible.
Cut through the distractions and fluff and get to what matters most. The people! It's our mission always to treat your brand, business, company, and relationship with the care and importance it deserves. So the world can know you better!
"Celebrate your roots." If you're a multi-million dollar startup from Silicon Valley or a small production house in Freeport, Illinois, chances are where you're from helped shape you and your business. For better or worse, the things of our past shape who we are today and inform how we move forward. They don't define us, but they do help to shape us. We know this can be powerful, and that's why it inspires everything we do!
Getting to the roots of video production often looks like research and conversations. These things feel less like lights or camera action! But they're the crucial foundation for ensuring your video isn't just okay but great! And that is why we focus on it and why we've made it part of our mantra!

Hey, it’s me, Will. 815 natives was started for two reasons. Because we deeply believe in telling great stories and celebrating your roots. We are all natives from somewhere with a great story; the trick is knowing how to say it.
We’re based out of Freeport, IL, and the area code in our region is 815! I suppose every city and region tries to make something special from their area code, but we feel there’s something different about those three little numbers for us!
One thing is for sure. Our small area code has a lot of business talent, and so far, we've had the privilege of working with only a fraction of our Freeport natives. But we're excited to grow and, most importantly, help other businesses and brands grow along the way!
