Outside The Frame is an MBE-certified, boutique production company based in New York City. Since our founding in 2009, we have produced a diverse array of creative projects including commercials, social ad campaigns, branded content, web series, promotional films and much more.
We create work for clients in design, fashion, architecture, academia, and healthcare, and are grateful for a diverse family of clients consistently keeping us on our creative toes and inspired by the impactful work many of them do.
Most of our full time staff and roster of freelance artists are comprised of MFA graduates from prestigious cinema-arts programs around the country. Others have decades of experience working in the film or marketing industries. With this strong foundation in narrative, we bring a storyteller's sensibility to every film. Even in non-narrative projects, we seek to infuse our work with drama, escalation, reveals, and discoveries. All of this engages the audience, leading to a more participatory, emotional, and ultimately cinematic experience.
