Telling Stories That Matter
About Cold Collaborative
Cold Collaborative pursues stories centered around adventure and conservation because we believe that life is lived better outside. What sets Cold Collab apart from other production companies is our unwillingness to compromise this ethos. As filmmakers, we seek high cinematic value with the use of a RED & CANON platform, using a mixture of Verite and dynamic movement. Cold Collab’s minimal approach has the ability to engage in stories in a way that provides unique authenticity and moments of raw value.
We work with brands and agencies around the world including Sitka Gear, Red Bull, YETI, Simms, Orvis, Smith Optics, Mathews Archery,Orange Seal and more.
