grammer. is driven by a team of award-winning artists who value a boutique, cinematic approach to project realization over utilitarian photo + video production.
We understand the vital first impressions derived from an intentional online presence.
And we identify with those who share this appreciation.
Sideways sparked an upsurge in Pinot Noir sales… while Psycho triggered the opposite in opaque shower curtains.
The X-Files inspired a generation of women going into the sciences, and The Sopranos, a generation of men into therapy.
Commercial entities have never had more avenues to reach their audience.
Branded content screams for our attention at every vacant moment.
Fatigue for sponsored ads has reached an all-time high, and trust in them an all-time low.
Stories, on the other hand, remain a driver of resonating and material results.
Creative Minds, Commercial Matters
grammer. prizes narratives that leave viewers genuinely moved, engaged and connected.
Not tricked for clicks.
We bridge skills and tastes honed in creative filmmaking, with years of work with prestige commercial brands, small businesses and
non-profit organizations alike.
It is this accumulated experience that drives our mission. To cut through the noise of algorithmic content. To deliver stories of worth, artistry and impact.
An artistic bent, and overactive imagination, led Joe’s childhood career goals from Ghostbuster, to cartoonist, to filmmaker. With a love of creating stories and images, he spent the bulk of his teenage years wrangling friends in short films he made.
He’s now a director, photographer, cinematographer, writer, and editor. Those skills, and a passion for travel, have led him to a variety of projects across the globe, from New York to Prague, Mexico to India, the Pacific Islands to the Middle East, and beyond. His work spans commercial, fashion, automotive, corporate, television, and cinema. He recently directed the sci-fi comedy Higher Grounds, co-written with Christian Graham.
His previous film as writer/director, Running the Gammatar, went viral as a Vimeo Staff Pick. It was acclaimed in over 50 media outlets, was featured on Funny or Die, played festivals worldwide, took top prize in online competitions, and was distributed both domestically and internationally.
For Christian, three family generations of writers and journalists, and one impractically overpriced English degree, has made of storytelling less an interest than an inheritance. Graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 2012 just in time to join the funeral march for the print media industry, he channeled that focus instead into a lifelong love of movies.
Since then, he has served as the lead video producer of a major international fashion and lifestyle retailer, created award winning music video and documentary work in collaboration with grassroots artists, and produced acclaimed independent film in his own right.
His most recent work, Higher Grounds, which he co-wrote with Joe Kramer, was highly decorated with both merit grants and festival accolades. It was awarded multiple Audience Choice prizes, as well as acknowledgments for best of category and special effects, and has both screened in festivals and secured distribution across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
