We are filmmakers, photographers, and explorers. But more than anything we’re storytellers. We’re passionate about creating media that captures real impact and brings people together.
After living overseas for two years as documentary filmmakers and photojournalists for an international nonprofit, we returned home with a drive to continue helping organizations tell their stories. We launched Tandem Lens in 2016 and began working with new clients, both locally and globally.
We have over 20 years of experience in media production and nonprofit marketing, and have had the opportunity to work in countries across Africa, Asia, and South America. We’re proud to call Boise home and both grew up in small towns in Idaho.
We love partnering with people who share our commitment to creating sustainable and lasting change. If you’d like to start a conversation about how we can help tell your story, please contact us. We’d love to hear from you!
