Encompass Films has had many faithful clients who have entrusted us to help hone their brand through multi-video campaigns. Below is a deep dive into a few for whom we have made dozens of videos with over the years.
Encompass partnered with Vail Resorts to craft a visual narrative that brought art to life across their mountain destinations. Through a series of video stories, we documented artists whose installations transformed resort landscapes into immersive experiences. Their paintings wrapped gondolas, turning each lift ride into a moving canvas—blurring the line between nature and artistry. More than aesthetics, the project fostered inclusivity, inviting a broader audience to see themselves in the resort experience and reimagine the slopes as a space for all.
Encompass embarked on a years-long collaboration with the advertising agency Team One to craft a series of films that brought the firm’s intellectual vision to life. Centered around the Legacy in the Making series, these films illuminated the insights and ingenuity that set Team One’s clients apart, weaving together the defining elements that shaped their enduring success. Through this project, we sought not only to showcase the brands but to distill the essence of their legacy—transforming industry knowledge into cinematic storytelling.
The Smithsonian Channel is the ideal partner for “Last Call for the Bayou,” a 5-part documentary series that examines the disappearing Louisiana wetlands. The series was made in collaboration with Peak Design, Sitka Gear, The Redford Center, and non-profit Restore the Mississippi River Delta. These five films chronicle the lives of individuals in the deepest parts of the Bayou who are witnessing land loss at an alarming rate.
Urban bag-maker Timbuk2 set out to create an ambassador program celebrating craftsmanship, city life, and cycling. They handpicked ambassadors who embodied the brand’s ethos or had exciting creative collaborations in the works. The goal? To capture and showcase these individuals’ lifestyles and their unique contributions to the cycling community.
Bike accessory brand Blackburn Designs set out to lead the way in adventure cycling and bike-packing. Over four years, they partnered with Encompass Films to produce more than 20 videos, capturing the journeys of everyday cyclists tackling the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide. These films told their stories—raw, inspiring, and deeply connected to the spirit of exploration. Beyond the digital campaign, Blackburn also commissioned two 25-minute short films, designed for festival screenings and bike shop showings across the country.
Outside Television is the premier destination for action sports and adventure-driven lifestyle content. Its signature short film series, Dispatches, showcases compelling stories ranging from elite athletes pushing the limits of their sports to everyday dreamers pursuing extraordinary journeys. Encompass Films was, early in our career, a regular contributor to Dispatches, capturing the spirit of adventure, resilience, and human ambition. Below is a curated selection of films from the series.
