Brown Bird Film is a Northern California-based production studio dedicated to telling stories that matter. From commercials for brands like Polaris, Honda, and Itacate Foods to documentary work with PBS, the Yosemite Conservancy, the Oakland Museum of California, and the Yurok Tribe, our team brings authenticity and craft to every project.

Rooted in a background in wildlife biology and environmental policy, we specialize in stories about wildlife, the natural world, Indigenous cultures, and community. We believe a powerful message needs to be visually captivating to truly land, and we bring that philosophy to every frame.

Our work spans branded content, documentary shorts, award-winning narrative films, and everything in between. Whether it is a corporate campaign or a cause-driven documentary, we approach each project with the same commitment: tell the story right, respect the people in it, and make it unforgettable.
