Solstice Films was founded in 2009 by a group of filmmakers who believed that cinema could be a force for environmental awareness and change. What began as a small documentary collective in Portland, Oregon, has grown into an internationally recognized studio known for producing films that are as visually stunning as they are socially impactful.
Our name reflects our philosophy: just as the solstice marks a turning point in the natural cycle, we aim to create films that mark turning points in how people see and relate to the natural world. Every project we undertake is guided by a deep respect for the environment, both in the stories we tell and in the way we tell them.
Over fifteen years, we have filmed on every continent except Antarctica, captured over a hundred stories, and won dozens of awards. But what matters most to us is not the accolades—it is the knowledge that our films have inspired real action, from conservation initiatives to policy changes to a simple but profound shift in how someone sees the world outside their window.
To craft cinematic experiences that illuminate the beauty and urgency of the natural world, inspiring audiences to see, understand, and protect the planet we share. We believe that film has the power to bridge the gap between knowledge and action, and we are committed to telling the stories that matter most.
A world where cinema serves as a catalyst for environmental stewardship, where every film we produce contributes to a broader cultural shift toward sustainability and reverence for nature. We envision a future where the stories we tell today help preserve the landscapes we film for generations to come.
A collective of passionate storytellers, adventurers, and visual artists united by a love for the natural world.
Have a story that needs to be told? We're always looking for new projects and collaborations that align with our passion for nature-inspired cinema.
