Before we bring your story to life,
Let us share a bit of our own.
Living year-round on the island of Nantucket, Laura and Chris are the creative forces behind
Yellow Productions, a team of Regional Emmy® Award-winning filmmakers with over 15 years
of experience in visual storytelling. With advanced degrees in film, audio production,
communications, and marketing, this husband-and-wife duo has collaborated with global brands
like Microsoft, Apollo, and CNBC. Yellow Productions’ films have earned accolades locally and
internationally, transforming brands and gaining recognition at film festivals across the country.
Nantucket’s most esteemed non-profits rely on Laura and Chris annually to craft compelling
films that resonate with donors. They are also trusted to document the island’s most prestigious
events and unforgettable weddings, preserving moments as cinematic treasures that stand the
test of time.
We first met while working at Plum TV, where our shared passion for storytelling
and creativity quickly brought us together. In 2014, as two big dreamers in our early 20s, we sat
in our small studio apartment and mapped out an ambitious vision for our lives and our growing
business, Yellow Productions. Nearly a decade later, that vision has become a reality we’re
incredibly proud of.
Today, we’re grateful to call one of the world’s most beautiful islands home. Here, we raise our
family and work together each day to create films that capture meaningful stories—designed to
last for generations.
While Yellow Productions is driven by the vision and work of Laura and Chris, the
incredible films they create would not be possible without the talent and dedication of their
freelancers & interns through the years, with great gratitude to Andrew Dawson, Henry
Michaels, Myles Austin, Matt Kisiday, Andrew Cromartie, Ben Daniels, and Mookie Richards,
whose contributions have been invaluable over the years.
We are deeply grateful to the local organizations and brands who trusted us to tell their stories
as we grew, and to the wedding community of planners, photographers, florists, caterers, and
venues who continually inspire us and connect us with the most wonderful families. Your
support and collaboration mean the world to us.
Laura
Creative Director & Editor
With a passion for communication & details, Laura works closely with clients to turn their concepts into visions. Whether it is a documentary, a wedding film or brand commercial, the most important moments for Laura are the befores and after of filming. With the magic touch for editing & audio engineering, she brings each one of our films to life and is responsible for the many tears that have been shed by those who watch them.
Chris
Director of Photography & Colorist
Flying a drone, running audio and chasing his subject with a camera… all at the same time, without breaking a sweat and looking calm… This is how you may find Chris on any film day. He is the calming presence and tech genius to all of our films. The beautiful colors and crisp look in our films? That’s all Chris.
Living year round on Nantucket Island, with a passion for storytelling, Laura & Chris have been creating films for over 15 years. With bachelor degrees in video and audio production as well as communications and marketing, the duo have worked globally with major brands, such as Microsoft, Apollo & CNBC, from start to finish on creating purposeful films
Yellow’s Emmy nominated & award winning films have transformed brands both locally & internationally and have been selected for film festivals across the country. The duo are trusted yearly by the island’s greatest non-profits in creating brand films to showcase their impact to donors as well as capturing the island’s most prestigious events and weddings.
In 2014, Laura & Chris sat in their tiny mid-island garage apartment and discussed a 5 – 10 year plan with their relationship and also with Yellow. A decade later, they pinch themselves almost daily as they are truly living everything they dreamed of, raising a family on their favorite island & working together everyday to create films that matter and that will be passed down for generations within families.
