VIDEO PRODUCTION. CONTENT CREATION. UNBRIDLED.
WHAT WE DO
Pre-Production
Whether you already have a script or if you only have an idea, we will meet you where you are in the process. We will create a plan and content strategy that will lead our process along the way.
Production
We travel to the story. If you need us in St. Louis, Denver, Los Angeles, Europe, anywhere, our expert filmmakers will be there with equipment in hand. With our warehouse full of top of the art equipment, it is safe to say our production will run smoothly while looking and sounding great, too.
Post-Production
Motion graphics. Animation. Color correction. Our team will take an existing video and make it even better. A lot of magic happens here after filming.
OUR WORK
ABOUT US
Unbridled Media is guided by the principle that a memorable experience is more than just formulaic shooting and editing. We are a strategic and creatively driven team, from concept and script through editing and distribution, with a devotion to intentionally craft each project’s needs. In addition, 20% of our proceeds are donated back into our community where we have created an endowed scholarship for female and minority filmmakers at University of Missouri – Columbia and Webster University. We also annually give to the Camping & Education Foundation. Because it’s more than doing good business; it’s the right thing to do. And it just feels good.
INTERNSHIPS
We are accepting applications for Video Production Interns to join our St. Louis, MO team!
The internship at Unbridled Media is designed to get participants involved in the production and post-production process on client work and original productions. Interns may be utilized as crew members (Production Assistant, Camera B Operator, Grip, Audio, Assistant Editor, etc.) for branded content shoots. These creative roles will work closely with Executive Producer and Producer/Editor level teammates and gain hands-on learning experience that will directly apply to jobs available in the marketplace.
Please send resume & cover letter to [email protected]. In your cover letter, tell us about yourself, any campus activities/involvements you’re in, and any hobbies you may have.

I like to joke that my husband and I have so many kids among us we should form our own boy band. They (plus our darling English Bulldog Lulu) certainly keep us busy, hectic, and laughing. We cherish our family time, and love our summers together! Our happiest places include any outdoor concert, Elitches, WaterWorld, lounging by the pool and backyard BBQs.
