At Big Slide Creative, we believe connection starts with curiosity.

We make videos and films that uncover stories you don’t usually see - the ones that show how meaning and beauty take shape in real life. Whether filming a chef rediscovering his craft or a community protecting the land they love, we’re drawn to people whose lives say something bigger - about care, creativity, and connection to place.

We follow real people, listen closely, and let moments lead the way.

This approach builds emotional credibility. We help brands connect with audiences through the kind of stories people seek out, not scroll past. Stories that reflect the world their customers care about and the values they share.

We’ve partnered with brands like Kodak and Wegmans to reach audiences through genuine, human storytelling. These are films that make people stop, feel, and remember - because they recognize a piece of themselves on screen.

Every project starts with the same question: what truth might we uncover that makes people feel more connected to the world around them?

Big Slide is a member of 1% for the Planet and donates at least one percent of its annual revenue to environmental organizations.

We own a full suite of production equipment including cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, grip and electric.
