Our Services
Eidolon Films is a Washington, DC based full-service documentary film production company, meaning that we work with you from concept, to filming, to editing, and to distribution. We don’t just make videos. We discover stories, capture moments, create art, and connect it with the public. Our work has been broadcast on PBS, screened online, at museums, cultural centers and before members of Congress. In addition to documentary film production, we offer services in photography, writing and design.
Our Vision
From time immemorial, storytelling has been the medium through which we have passed down history, shared important information and inspired progressive agendas. At Eidolon, we continue this tradition through documentary film, using story to inspire, engage and inform the world about your mission. We are committed to character-driven stories with a high aesthetic. We like to think of our films as truly moving images; a series of well-composed and striking photographs.
Who We Are
We are a Washington DC-based husband and wife team. When you call, you’ll get one of us on the line. We care deeply about each one of our projects. And, if you’re lucky you’ll get some homemade treats.
