About

Sonder: the realization that every person has a

story as vivid and complex as your own.

WHO WE ARE

A Maine crew that shoots coast to coast

Sonder Films is a small, senior production team led by Nate Bowman.

We make brand, recruitment, and testimonial films for organizations, senior living operators, and the agencies that serve them.

We travel light and go where the work is. Recent shoots: five markets for Lifespace, four states for The Jackson Laboratory, a trade show floor in San Diego for SPAR 3D are just a few of the projects we've completed.

What working with us is like

Small by design.

You work directly with the people shooting and editing, not an account layer.

Built to perform.

We start with what the film needs to do (hire, sell, explain) and shoot for that.

Easy to work with.

Clear scope, clean schedules, no surprises on set or on the invoice.
