Our Story
It all started in 2019. The story goes like this: After the day’s work was done, we’d slip into a booth to talk about our respective productions over coffee, each conversation leaving us buzzing with creative inspiration (and caffeine — lots of caffeine).
It didn’t take us long to realize that if we combined our unique talents and backgrounds, we could form the kind of video production firm we’d always hoped to work for — one that values the genuine creativity and collaboration integral to our craft. And so we did. Midnight Brunch has since grown into a full-service, award-winning video production and marketing agency, but our mission remains the same: to create elevated content that puts honest storytelling — and you, the client — first.
