About Headwall Films
At Headwall Films, we believe every story deserves a summit. Founded by Coleman and Vannessa, two passionate adventurers with a shared love for storytelling and the great outdoors, Headwall Films specializes in capturing authentic moments that resonate deeply.
We’re more than filmmakers—we’re storytellers, collaborators, and a husband-and-wife team united by a shared passion for capturing the heart of what matters most. Together, we bring a unique blend of creativity, vision, and dedication to every project, creating films that inspire, engage, and leave a lasting impression.
Our journey began in 2010 with an adventure elopement photo and video business. That business developed a mutual love for storytelling and a belief that powerful narratives can change the way people connect with brands, ideas, and one another. Over the years, we’ve honed our craft, blending cinematic visuals with authentic emotion to produce videos that resonate. Whether it’s branding, storytelling, or documentary work, we pour our hearts into every frame, ensuring the final product reflects your vision as vividly as it does ours.
But creating a compelling film starts long before the cameras roll. We understand that every person, brand, or organization has a story—it’s just a matter of finding it. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help our clients discover, refine, and dial in their unique narrative in pre-production. Our process is intentional, collaborative, and personal. We listen deeply, ask the right questions, and guide you toward uncovering the essence of your story, so it’s authentic, impactful, and aligned with your goals.
As a husband-and-wife team, collaboration is at the core of everything we do. We approach each project as a partnership, working closely with you to understand your values and vision. From shaping the story to capturing it on film, we take pride in crafting films that don’t just look great—they feel right, capturing the essence of who you are and what you stand for.
At Headwall Films, we believe in the power of connection. Whether we’re telling a brand’s story or documenting real-life moments, our goal is to create something authentic, innovative, and deeply impactful. Together, let’s bring your story to life in a way that moves and inspires.
Our roots are grounded in the mountains. Coleman is a seasoned trad climber, ski tourer, and mountaineer with a knack for documenting bold adventures. When he’s not scaling granite walls or chasing powder, he enjoys relaxing at home with his cat, Miss Ma'am, who prefers the comforts of home over the wilderness. Vannessa shares a similar passion for exploration, combining her love for skiing, hiking, and mountaineering with an eye for breathtaking photography. She’s also a devoted companion to her dog, Olivia, and her three cats—Ralph, Butterball, and Fiona—each with their own unique charm.
Together, we bring our adventurous spirits and artistic vision to every project. From high alpine escapades to heartfelt human stories, our goal is to craft films that connect, inspire, and linger in the minds of our audience. We approach each narrative with the precision of a climber tackling a headwall—carefully, passionately, and with an unyielding commitment to the journey.
Whether you're a brand looking to showcase your values or an individual with a story worth sharing, Headwall Films is here to elevate your vision. Let’s reach new heights together.
