Clouds North Films
Here at Clouds North, we focus on telling a wide range of human stories, from the miners who work in the Colorado coal mines and the Indigenous people that protect the wetlands of the Oneida Nation, to hardworking school administrators building a better education system for all and local folks dedicated to creating a just world in their own backyard.
Most of our work focuses on the micro-doc: using the documentary form and combining thoughtful interviews with cinematic visuals to tell elegant, intelligent, and, more than anything, engaging stories for non-profits, businesses, and educational organizations.
