History

Established in 2015.

Mid-America Emmy® Award-winning filmmakers at your service. There’s a reason we don’t call ourselves an agency, a studio, or a production house – we’re your team of creatives. We’re here when you need us, and not crowding your office when you don’t. When it comes to your brand, we share your vision and your goals—and we’ve got the skills to reach your audience. We take films from idea to delivery. Conceptualizing, writing, casting, shooting, and editing – we do it all. Our commercials have shown around the country, including in Times Square, and our fundraising films have raised millions for causes worldwide. Our St. Louis film crew travels the globe, but we're proud to call the Midwest home. Tree9 Films is also a certified woman-owned business, committed to producing high-quality video content with creativity, clarity, and purpose.
