Mitten State Media was created in 2024 by Brian Ford, a cross-platform visual media artist based in Northern Michigan.

His robust background in production and post-production has led him to document stories across the globe; from the post-industrial struggles of Detroit to the post-conflict transformations of rural Colombia; from the rebuilding efforts in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake to the regrowth of the South Pacific's coral reefs.

Past partners and clients range from blue-blooded giants such as National Geographic, Discovery, and Smithsonian to networks, non-profits, institutions and companies of all sizes, including A&E, PBS, TLC, the University of Michigan, Dell, Amazon Prime, and the World Bank.

Technically conversant from field to final finishing, Brian is well-equipped to capture, convey, and give a voice to your story, whatever it may be.
