Anchor Films

THE STORYTELLERS.

Your message doesn’t simply need to “cut through.” That’s a given.

It needs to resonate. Captivate. Delight. It needs to spark a conversation and move a relationship forward.

We are Anchor Films, and we’re here to help you do exactly that.

Anchormen.

Anchor Films was founded by Matt Ayers and Brian Myers in 2012. With an entrepreneurial spirit, we’ve been able to bring a unique approach to production in the Midwest and across the country. Often co-directing, we find that four eyes can be better than two—that is, if you’re interested in compelling, memorable and fuss-free productions. MORE

Sleeves Rolled Up.

Let's talk a little more about the heart of this company. We're driven by story. We believe in relationships, and we make decisions with intentionality and a sense of purpose.

Motion Motion Graphics can outline complex processes, help deliver an idea that’s more on the conceptual side, or dress up traditional video footage. We keep them in our hip pocket for just such occasions. Motion Graphics can outline complex processes, deliver conceptual ideas, and dress up video footage.

Our Studio.

We wanted to make sure that our love of community, creativity and craftsmanship spilled over into our everyday work–so we spent countless hours renovating an old candy factory in our hometown into a modern, loft-style studio where we can do things the way they’re supposed to be done. Great things can happen anywhere, and they do right here. Every day.

But it’s more than that. It’s a place for live painting and food trucks, your favorite band and The Next Big Thing. We’re dreaming up the best events we can think of and making them happen here.

Because why should big cities get all the good stuff?
