What we believe
Trust is built before the first conversation.
By the time someone calls you, they've already decided how they feel about you, and they decided it online.
So the job isn't to make videos. It's to make sure what people find matches what your customers already know: the standard, the people, the results.
That takes strategy before a camera ever comes out, research into what actually works in your industry, and a team that stays on top of things so you don't have to.
How we work
What you can expect from us
On top of it
Up to date, organized, and ahead of the calendar. You'll never have to chase us.
Invested in people
We invest in our team, and it shows in the work and in how it feels to work with us.
Measured by your growth
Growth, visibility, and authority for the businesses we work with. That's the scoreboard.
St. Louis, on purpose
Local, and not by accident.
We work with businesses in St. Louis and the surrounding area, on location, in the spaces where the work actually happens.
It's a community we know. That makes the strategy sharper and the content days easier, and it means the people on camera are talking to the people who'll see it.

The team
Meet our department heads
Fiedler Films is a St. Louis company. These are the people who lead the work.
Nathan Fiedler
Video Strategist & Founder
Nathan founded Fiedler Films to help businesses use well-made video to strengthen their brand, say what they mean, and grow. His background runs through commercial video production, creative strategy, and advertising built to get a response, with photography and web design alongside. Fiedler Films now works with businesses across a range of industries, and Nathan's job is to hold the two halves together: storytelling that looks cinematic, and a plain understanding of how content moves a customer to decide. He leads strategy and creative direction, so every project is built around a clear business objective before it is built to look good.
Patrick Wells
Videographer & Creative Director
Patrick is the person most often on site with clients, and his job is turning the strategy into confident, natural performances on camera. He leads the filming from start to finish: directing whoever is in front of the lens, shaping each scene, and making people comfortable enough to give their best. He pairs technical production skill with a strong instinct for pacing, storytelling, and keeping the client in the loop, so each shoot stays true to the plan it came from. Patrick is how a concept becomes a finished film that feels polished, intentional, and authentic.

The approach
The same four steps. Never the same plan.
Every partnership runs the same shape: work out what the business needs to say, film it properly, cut it well, and publish it consistently. What changes is everything inside that shape, because it's built for your brand and your industry.
01
Plan
Before anything is filmed, we work out what your business needs to say and who needs to hear it: research into what actually works in your industry, then concepts and scripts built around your brand.
02
Film
One directed content day is built to produce a month of content, not a single video. We bring the crew, the questions, and the direction, so you talk about what you already know.
03
Edit
The footage becomes finished work: full videos, short-form cuts, and captions, edited to look like your brand rather than everyone else's.
04
Publish
We post on a consistent schedule, run the paid side where it's part of your plan, and set up the automations that turn attention into conversations.
Then, what performed shapes the next plan. That loop is why this works as a partnership rather than a one-off shoot.
They're really adaptable to getting what we need as a business and they listen to our needs as a business and understand us and they've become not just our partner, but great friends as well.
Your business already does great work. Let's make sure people can see it.
If that sounds like the kind of partner you've been looking for, tell us about the business.
Before you reach out
These partnerships work best for established, owner-led businesses with a proven offer, a real marketing budget, and an owner willing to be on camera and hand off the rest. If you're still proving the offer, expecting instant or guaranteed leads, or shopping mainly on price, we're probably not the right fit.
