Your Story is a visual storytelling studio and video production company in New York City, making commercials, brand films and corporate video for brands and agencies across Manhattan, Brooklyn and beyond.
We’re a New York video production company built around a simple belief: the best work starts with something worth communicating. From commercial production for agencies and consumer brands to corporate video production for financial, media and technology organizations, we bring strategy, creative direction, production and post-production together under one roof. Every project is shaped with intention, grounded in something human, and made to stay with you.
New York shifts character block by block: the towers of Midtown and Lower Manhattan, SoHo cast iron, Brooklyn brownstones and DUMBO cobblestones, rooftops, bridges and the waterfront. That density gives a production enormous visual range within a small footprint. It is also one of the world’s great production cities, with major sound stages in Brooklyn and Queens and a film and television community that has worked these streets for generations.
Selected commercial, brand, and corporate productions managed from planning through final delivery.
Every story is different. The principles behind great storytelling are not. Shaped over more than a decade and thousands of stories, the Your Story Structure™ brings clarity to the creative process by aligning three interdependent forces.
Every story is different. The principles behind great storytelling are not. Shaped over more than a decade and thousands of stories, the Your Story Structure™ brings clarity to the creative process by aligning three interdependent forces.
Understanding who the story is for, when they’ll experience it, and what they bring with them.
Shaping the story through structure, perspective, rhythm, emotion, and visual intention.
Defining what the audience should feel, remember, perceive, or do because the story exists.
We work with a curated roster of commercial directors, bringing different perspectives, visual languages, and areas of expertise to each production. Projects are matched with directors based on the story, creative direction, audience, and needs of the campaign.
Our studio model is built around bringing together the right creative and production talent for each project. We are always interested in meeting experienced directors, producers, cinematographers, production crew, photographers, editors, animators, and other specialists working in New York. If your work reflects strong craft, thoughtful decision-making, and a collaborative approach, introduce yourself and share your portfolio.

The production approach is built around the audience, creative direction, platform and objectives of each project.
Timelines vary by scope.
Smaller productions may move from planning through final delivery within several weeks, while larger commercials and campaigns can require several months of creative development, pre-production, filming, post-production and approvals. In New York, winter weather and busy summer streets both shape exterior schedules, and we build permit lead times into the plan wherever a location needs them.
We establish a clear schedule and approval process at the beginning of each project.

Link: Post-production
Yes. Creative development, pre-production meetings, reviews, approvals, and post-production can all be managed remotely. When filming takes place in New York, our production team coordinates the local logistics while maintaining clear communication with agency and client stakeholders wherever they are based.
Yes. New York is one of the world’s major centres for film, television and advertising, with large sound stages such as Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Silvercup and Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens. For commercial and corporate work, that means experienced crews, rental houses and post-production in every borough.
Length matters less than what goes into it: cast, crew, locations, shoot days, equipment and the finish of the final image. In New York, location fees, permits, parking and moving a crew between boroughs can shape a budget as much as the creative does. We build each budget around the story and the objective rather than a fixed rate card.
