Pixel Motion Films is an innovative approach to modern-day filmmaking through digital media. Telling stories is at the core of everything we do and we believe every brand, place, and destination has a story behind it. These stories create a community and culture around the way people act, relate, and communicate.
We use filmmaking to realize these narratives and assemble them into interactive forms of media that people share and engage with. We’ve made lifelong friends on the journeys that we’ve had at Pixel. From every country and continent we stepped foot in, to every brand and destination that we’ve interacted with, we make it our purpose to understand the why in everything we do.
