01 — Who we are
Story is a San Francisco film and media company for the science and technology that will shape what comes next. We make original films and documentaries, host the show Science, Startups & Stories, and partner with founders and teams to tell the stories their work deserves.
Our studio, crews and post team work alongside strategy and design under one roof, so an idea can go from first conversation to finished film without being handed off.
In a media landscape often dominated by cynicism and fear, we choose optimism.
