About the Mishawaka market

Mishawaka video work often blends with South Bend metro coverage. Healthcare systems in particular operate across both cities, so brand films that unify the two markets reach a wider audience.
The Mishawaka business community we work with includes companies in healthcare, retail, manufacturing, with additional work in hospitality. Notable Mishawaka-area companies in our orbit include Saint Joseph Health System, Bayer (regional), AM General.
What brand films looks like here
Brand films are documentary-style short films (typically 2 to 4 minutes) that capture a company's identity, values, or origin story. They're built around interviews with the people who actually do the work, not actors or polished narration. The goal is to make a viewer remember a specific company, not a generic category.
For Mishawaka healthcare and retail clients, that usually means a documentary-style production weighted toward operators and customer-facing stakeholders, with venue options including Battell Park and Mishawaka Riverwalk.
