We're a team of videographers and editors in Grand Rapids, and we're in this business because it's what we love to do. If you also love telling impactful stories through film, and are excited about collaborating with other like-minded videographers, then Unnamed Films is the team for you.
Unnamed Films is an LGBT-Owned Video & Production Company that serves West Michigan and is based in Grand Rapids. We approach every project with a team-based mindset, and focus on assigning work based on our members' strengths & weaknesses. We don't make videographers bid on jobs, and our team is never in competition with eachother.
As of this writing, we have a staff that includes our two owners, 3 employed editor/Videographers, and 4 contract videographers.
You can read about the rest of our team here.
This company got its start in 2015 as a way for Scott & David to pay for college, but after a few years they quickly realized that this is what they wanted to pursue instead. The team has come a long way since then, but the passion and excitement has stayed the same, and that is what we look for in new members of our team.

Or, jump down to the FAQ.
We are, but we always look to our existing videography team first for such opportunities. We do not contract out editing.
We have both contract & employee videographers; the distinction is based on how many jobs they work with us each year, whether they work with us in the office in addition to filming, and their personal preference as to how they get paid.
We prefer our team shoot on equipment that they are familiar with, but can provide equipment if need be. Videographers that bring their own equipment are paid a higher rate.
