Barefoot Team

We are an award-winning production house—a collective of seasoned filmmakers, photographers, and journalists driven by the power of storytelling. Less influenced, more engaged, we take an unconventional approach, ignoring trends in order to craft narratives that truly matter. Our mission is boundless: to explore far and wide, connect with humanity in all its diversity, and immerse ourselves in the raw and real—so we can share stories that move hearts and spark meaningful change.

We’re inspired by individuals, organizations, and businesses that actively work to make the world a better place. And we’re here to bring your vision to life in the most creative and compelling way. Our team of passionate artists is dedicated to chasing powerful stories across the globe—wherever they may lead.

Film Production

Documentary | Brand | Commercial

Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. From the farmlands of Southern Asia to the coastal towns of Central America—and right here at home in California—our team of seasoned professionals is committed to bringing powerful stories to life. With over a decade of combined experience, we deliver expert-level quality that elevates every project. No matter the distance, we go wherever the story leads to ensure your voice is heard and your vision is captured with clarity and purpose.

We were ignited by a lust for adventure but sustained by a curiosity to serve stories that make a difference.

Creative Direction

Campaign Strategy | Event Coverage

When we're not off the grid, we’re back in San Diego, crafting fresh ideas and helping brands enhance their content strategy and visually tell their stories. With a true "run-and-gun" style, we’ve captured everything from ultra marathons to album releases and beyond. Whether it's campaign direction or live show coverage, our team of filmmakers and post-production specialists work tirelessly to elevate your brand’s content and make an impact.
