When two teams share the same commitment to collaboration, something magical happens.
Blackburn Architects has spent 40 years designing equestrian facilities that breathe. Literally. Founder John Blackburn revolutionized barn design using aerodynamic principles and natural ventilation to create structures where horse health and safety come first.
We traveled to Virginia to tell their story.

We interviewed John, his clients, and the team who bring their vision to life. We captured the barns themselves, the details that make them work, and the relationships that make the projects possible.

John’s interview was a masterclass in technical storytelling. He can explain the Bernoulli principle and the chimney effect in ways that make you lean in, not check out. His passion for horse welfare isn’t marketing copy. It’s the foundation of everything Blackburn builds.
The finished brand film comes in five versions: 3-minute, 2-minute, and 60-second cuts, plus vertical versions optimized for mobile viewing. Each format maintains the story while adapting to where audiences are watching.
Great client relationships aren’t built on a single project. They’re built on shared values and the willingness to keep improving the work together.
Blackburn gets that. So do we.
If your brand needs a documentary-style film that makes technical expertise accessible without dumbing it down, we can help.
One story. Multiple formats. Built for the long term. To be continued…

In 2013, we started leveraging the power of documentary-style film for brands and causes in our hometown of Springfield, Illinois (hence our affinity for Lincoln).
Since then, we’ve worked with clients nationally and traveled to cities including Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Des Moines. 
No matter where you are, we’d be honored to serve your brand next.
