Thoughtful. Memorable. Real

Stories are proven to get people's attention.  
​At FEAT1STFILMS, we create engaging visual stories that draw in your audience.
let's Get real

NEA Fellow: Dan Ansotegui 


This mini documentary pays tribute to National Endowment For The Arts Fellow Dan Ansotegui and his unique position as a tradition bearer of the Basque community in Boise Idaho.
Location Location Location!
Filming this profile, we had complete access to the entire Basque Block during the annual San Inazio Festival. The rich cultural atmosphere here provide a perfect backdrop to capture Dan's role in perpetuating the Basque tradition (especially it's food, music and dance!) 

​Kettle River Railroad Bridge


​Built in 1894, this railroad bridge spans the Kettle River in Sandstone, Minnesota.
​At
FEAT1STFILMS, we  tell stories with tools, like drones, that can best provide unique perspectives. 
​We are certified UAV (unmanned aircraft systems) operators with hours of flight experience.   In order to use the awesome images these "drones" can provide, a production company needs to be licensed... and we have the goods. 



Limestone & Felt


Dedicated to performing music of living composers, Boise's own 208 Ensemble performed Caroline Shaw's "Limestone & Felt" in a collaboration with members of the Boise dance company, Project Flux.
Syncing five different cameras and three performances to a master track of the music helped capture the spontaneity and energy of this collaborative  performance.  

Emotions. Values. Ideas

Stories told simply... down-to-earth and relatable.
  

​Insurance Network America Summit in Boise, Idaho​​


​Boise-based, Insurance Network America is committed to their agents, hosting an annual conference that is second to none.
​Conducting interviews that capture the essence of your brand is easy to do when people are knowledgeable about and love what they do.  
​We take pride in creating working relationships that allow our subjects to just relax and be themselves.

​Boise In Full Flight: Expanding Travel Opportunities


​Every year the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce produces a year-end video for their annual gala. This segment highlights the Chamber's work on behalf of the region's "young professionals."
We love to be able to take a brand and fully explore the variety of stories that make up the whole.  
​Six short videos individually, and as a whole, are a window into the soul of this association of businesses.

Dave & Jock


​ As part of the Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program, sponsored by The Idaho Commission On The Arts,  master artists share skills and knowledge to perpetuate a valued community tradition. 
Documentary shorts or mini-docs are a great way to highlight the mission/story of a non-profit organization or business.
Our curiosity and love of people inform everything we do.
​Spending the day with Dave and Jock was a joy and yes...lunch included a round of beers.

Inspire. Inform. Engage

Stories that speak honestly  to your community.

​The “Get Out The Vote” Tour! Medicaid Expansion For Idaho


​Last year we were contacted by The Fairness Project to do some work on behalf of Reclaim Idaho.
We had the honor of touring Idaho in a green RV. From Boise, to McCall, Grangeville, to Lewiston, Coeur d'Alene, to Sandpoint.
Watching the dedication and hard work of the folks behind Prop 2 was truly an inspiration.
In a bipartisan effort, over 60% of Idaho voters voted YES on an initiative that will benefit countless Idahoans. 

Building A Trail in Garden Valley


The Garden Valley Mountain bike team needed a place to practice skills and train, so they took matters into their own hands.
​Part of a larger series of videos produced for the non-profit Idaho International Cycling League (IICL), this video introduces you to the Garden Valley Wolverines.  
Ostensibly, their story is about building trails near their rural school.  But the video also captures another, more significant, narrative about the inclusiveness of this special community of high school mountain bike teams.

Festival of India

This Boise temple is an important resource for Boiseans to learn about Vedic culture and the wealth of spiritual knowledge
that India has to offer.

This video uses impressionistic imagery and title cards to introduce you to a new world.
Spiritual devotion and passion are the focus of this piece. Capturing the beauty of these moments with tight shots on a long lens helped achieve a feeling of intimacy, mystery and deeper understanding.
