ABOUT KLTRD MEDIA
We didn’t start as a production company. We started in the room.
We don’t come to organizations as outside observers. We come as people who have been in the room, at the table, in the community, doing the work. Today, KLTRD MEDIA is a storytelling and video studio based in the Bay area and Central Valley, serving nonprofits, schools, public agencies, and mission-driven businesses across California.
SCENE 01 · WHY WE EXIST
KLTRD MEDIA is a brand storytelling and video production agency founded on a belief that isn’t a tagline — it’s a lived conviction. That belief didn’t come from a business plan. It came from years of sitting in community meetings, supporting youth-led organizations, and building initiatives from the ground up.
Everyone deserves to be seen.
We built KLTRD MEDIA because we saw what was missing: a creative partner that doesn’t just show up to film — one that actually understands the work being done, and the people doing it.

SCENE 03 · OUR ROOTS
Proximity to the work is the foundation, not the backstory.
Between our two founders, we’ve spent years at the intersection of youth development, nonprofit strategy, community organizing, and entrepreneurship. We know what it feels like to believe in a mission deeply — and to struggle to get others to see it the way you do.
We’ve been in rooms with organizations like yours. We’ve supported people who were shaped by programs like yours. That understanding shows up in every interview setup, every editorial decision, and every frame we shoot — not because we were briefed on it, but because we lived adjacent to it.
“Seen. Heard. Felt.” — that’s not a slogan. It’s how we measure the work. · Organizations and partners we’ve worked alongside: San Francisco Beacon Initiative · San Joaquin A+ · José M. Hernández Reaching for the Stars Foundation · Family Resource Center · Rise East · DCYF · Blaze Consulting Group · Improve your Tomorrow (IYT) and more.
