Provid Films is a top rated production company in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis / St Paul MN.

Our goal is to bring your vision to life. 

We're a one-stop camera crew for projects and yes, we travel.

See Our Portfolio 

We have the production crew and gear you need if your goal is to capture quality corporate, news, documentary, commercial, TV quality content.

We also handle live streaming and post production. 

Corporate video projects we routinely use a teleprompter and stream our feed to clients off-site. So you don't have to travel here to interact with your talent - saving you time.

Covid 19 Compliance:

We realize every business is unique and we respect their perspective.

Adapting to the new normal, we've received training and have a Certified Covid 19 Compliance Officer available if you choose - and can provide a fully vaccinated crew with proof of vaccination if required.

We follow all laws and rules regarding updated CDC guidelines for Covid 19.

Covid compliance items look like: off-site live streaming for interviews, wireless directors monitor for socially distanced crew, and minimizing people on set (cross-training crew to handle multiple roles).

We are still capturing beautiful footage with limited crew, gear, or location.

-

Live Streaming for You Off-Site

2021 we've adapted the newest technology to make it easier for clients than ever as 2020 we saw a huge shift in the number of live streaming projects and in and around the Twin Cities.

The new normal is having clients or someone who is part of your team - viewing remotely from their own city on their own device.

We still have a limited or full crew on site:

The difference is now we're doing hybrid.

Production Levels FOR YOU:

Pick the level that you prefer

MOST POPULAR: Full Service / Flying into town: Often times clients fly in with a director or just a sales rep and they want Provid Films to crew their project. We make it easy for you to come into town with just your carry on bag. Everything from the gear to the people to the food - we can handle your experience start to finish.

We've got a great DP & Director along with the crew and gear to make it as easy as a few phone calls and maybe an email or two.

If you have a DP or Director flying in, we offer assistance. (Whether that's freelancers, 2nd camera operators with their own gear, BTS photographer or videographer, or working to get you the gear you need)

SCALED DOWN: Crew Support: Some projects we just offer freelance support - whether that's a teleprompter operator or a local DP / owner / shooter and a sound person. We can adapt to meet your needs on the fly.

SCALED UP:  Strategic Video Leadership: If you love our aesthetic, our approach to projects, and want us to handle a project from start to finish - our full production company can make it easy for you.  From scriptwriting in pre-production to filming on set and finally post production editing, our full-service creative video production company strives to engage the viewers in emotionally compelling ways that help accomplish measurable results.
