We are a creative production agency that specializes in thoughtful and motivated film production services for commercial and documentary clients. Exploration and discovery are at the heart of 4th District. Our team is nimble and attuned to the craft of storytelling, anywhere the wind takes us: from the bustling streets of Vietnam to the desolate shores of the Aleutian Islands.
Visual storytelling is a very involved endeavor. Every project can be done more beautifully and efficiently than the last: with more innovative technology, better workflow, and better stories. We bring creative vision, logistical execution, and a holistic approach to each project, keeping brand results and image at the forefront of our priorities.
When we met in District 4 of Ho Chi Minh City during production of Song of Earthroot, everything coalesced. District 4 represented everything that we are - a woven tapestry of streets, pushing us to make and explore. Always on the ground, with our people, moving. Together, we become something greater - storytellers with a burning creative fire.
Welcome to 4th District. We tell the stories of the changers and makers.
4th District is a minority owned business.
