Talus Films
Purpose driven branded video rooted in storytelling & adventure.
Video crafted for your goals.
Talus Films is a purpose driven brand. You're up to more than just the products and services you sell. You're out to make a difference in people's lives and leave the world a better place.
As the only Chicago based, eco-conscious, award winning, and woman owned company specializing in video and film production, our team is pretty unique which gives us a fresh perspective in the industry.
Talus Films was co-founded at the beginning of 2019 after we'd been working together creatively since 2015. With over 16+ combined years of filmmaking and producing experience working as storytellers and collaborators, we strive to be our client's ultimate partner. And we've event been named one of the top video production companies in Chicago across multiple publications.
Our video production services are truly full service. We consult, strategize, develop, handle pre-production, production, and the entire post-process delivering on-time and on-budget with the utmost professionalism.
We're passionate about protecting our natural world, responsibly recreating outdoors, and inspiring action through branded content video. We hope to leave the world a little better than we found it, hence our eco-conscious approach.
We value adventure, sustainability & giving back, curiosity & empathy, collaboration, and inspiration. As you might expect, this often shapes who we work with. We love creating for:
-
Purpose Driven Brands
-
Outdoor Industry Brands
-
Sustainability & Conservation Organizations
-
Founders, Entrepreneurs & Small Businesses
-
B Corps
We also know not everyone is suited to telling every story. We're acutely aware of this. Therefore, we consciously keep our core team small and nimble so we're able to build the perfect production team for each unique story we tell. We draw from a highly skilled network of creatives across the country and hire locally whenever possible.
