At 1846 Studios, we’re fueled by the same grit and imagination that built thriving communities out of the wide-open Midwest. We believe stories, like ideas, grow strong when nurtured with care, vision, and determination. Our approach is grounded and resourceful, yet always pushing forward — unafraid to shape something original from the ground up. We believe every one of our projects is an opportunity to craft timeless images and stories, with a focus on creativity, collaboration, and bold storytelling.
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.
As production partners, Luminary Creative, Trilix Studio and Horizon Events Center offer over 20 years of experience, relationships and history operating in Iowa’s landscape and in the industry.
Our combined experience covers films, commercials, music production and promotion, event management, brand development and content, social engagement and marketing.
