Real stories from the shadowed world

creative team, driven by story

We are a video production house dedicated to telling real stories of our shadowed world.

Our ensemble of professionals leverage their collective skills to conjure immersive documentary and commercial films that invite viewers to step out of their comfortable categories for a moment and tilt their heads, ever so slightly, to look just a bit closer and reexamine the modern, mundane vision of reality.

We believe that all the world is shadowed, that there is magic to be found everywhere. It is our mission to present an an audience with an authentic experience of our strange, enchanted world through a careful fusion of compelling visuals, gripping narratives, and attention to detail.

This same passion for inspiring the “second glance”, and authenticity in storytelling drives us to create unique brand films and commercial work that’s sure to make your brand stand out.

What people are saying…

"All film is captured through the eye of the cinematographer, and all film productions are met with a storm at some point. When that happens, it’s best to have a person behind the camera that can calmly weather the storm of personalities, locations and time. Ward Hiney is that cinematographer. Of the three films I’ve produced or directed with Mr. Hiney behind the camera he was always the sure-footed one and the one with the vision I could not see. I can not recommend Mr. Hiney more, not just as a visionary, but also as a person. I am looking forward to working with him again soon." 

— Joseph Granda, Writer/Director/Producer

“Ward’s work is singular and unique. A true visionary with incredible story-telling talent, and a work ethic nearly unmatched.”

— Seth Breedlove, Owner, Small Town Monsters

““Over the years we’ve used several companies for video production, and DH Films has continually delivered the highest quality product of them all. Our industry requires the ability to keep up with fast-paced movement, identify key areas of focus, and form all of that action into a product that catches the client’s eye, and educates them. DH Films goes above and beyond, and has hands down increased our reach and revenue.”
