WHO WE ARE

We don’t make videos.

We tell stories.

Stories with heart. Stories with humor. Stories with something to say.

From award-winning branded content and commercials to acclaimed short films and animation, our creative team fuses imagination with invention to create the video productions everyone remembers. Each work that emerges from our studio reflects our devotion to pitch perfect production values and collaborative client relationships that start with story development and end with post-production and marketing. And it all begins with a single question:

What’s your story?

“We gave Something’s Awry a very tight deadline and vague direction and they blew us away. The videos they produced were a major part in the success of our launch of Thumb Drift. The feedback from game and car fans has been overwhelming and the 3M+ views of the videos across YouTube and Facebook prove that.”
