Tone Films isn’t a video agency that grew big and lost the obsession that built it. We’re a four-person team in the Short North Arts District in Columbus, serving Nationwide Insurance, Huntington Bank, JPMorgan Chase Columbus, the Ohio State University, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, the Wexner Medical Center, Cardinal Health, L Brands, the Silicon Heartland tech community, the Blue Jackets and Crew, and the family businesses shaping central Ohio. I direct every project. David shoots and edits every frame. Grace shapes every story. Elias designs every home for the films online.
If you reach out, you’re talking to me — not a sales rep, not an account manager. That’s the deal. It’s why we’ve held 5.0 across our Columbus reviews, and it’s why every project we deliver looks like our best one yet.
