We are inspired by the hard work and determination of the pioneers who settled this great state — those who carved a life out of the prairie and transformed it into one of the nation’s most vital agricultural contributors. That same spirit drives us: grounded, resourceful, forward-thinking, and unafraid to craft and build an idea from the ground up.
Based in Des Moines, Iowa, 1846 Studios is a team of creative thinkers and doers who believe in collaboration and share a deep respect for the art of video and film making. With a range of experience and a visionary mindset, we’re built for creativity and efficiency.
