New York City · Tri-State

New York doesn’t do ordinary.
Neither do we.

Chronicle Cinema creates cinematic video content in New York City and across the tri-state: brand film, live-event content, and documentary, produced by a film-grade crew. New York is where the big moments happen: launches, premieres, campaigns, and events that can’t be repeated, and the city expects nothing less.

On the ground when it counts. Chronicle Cinema produces in New York regularly, from a snowstorm shoot for Formation Bio to our own film premiere at the SAG-AFTRA theater.
You only get the moment once. We make it count.

From Midtown boardrooms to Brooklyn stages, New York sets the bar for brand, media, and culture. We bring the same cinematic standard we’re known for (commercial and branded film, live and hybrid events, and original documentary), to the market that invented the modern campaign.

Full-service and film-grade, we handle everything from concept and crew through post and delivery. Whether it’s a launch that has to break with the news, an event that has to run flawlessly, or a story that has to move people, we produce it in New York the way the city expects: exactly right, exactly on time.

What we make in New York

Film & documentary
Original films and documentaries with a festival and distribution track record, the kind of story New York audiences turn out for.
Biotech, finance & media
Complex, high-stakes subject matter made clear and cinematic, for the industries that define the New York economy.
Proof
Real work, made in New York.
Formation Bio · Express Unit
When Formation Bio had an announcement to make, a 12-inch New York City snowstorm wasn’t going to stop it. We strapped on snowshoes, walked to set, shot the press moment on the day, and delivered a finished, on-brand launch film the next morning, live the moment the press release dropped.

Conversion · Chronicle Creates
Our award-winning documentary Conversion premiered in New York City at the SAG-AFTRA Robin Williams Center to a sold-out crowd, a survivor-led film now distributed by Gravitas Ventures and streaming on Apple TV and Prime Video. New York is where our films meet their audience.

New York FAQ
Working with us in NYC.
Do you shoot in New York?
+
Yes, we produce in New York City and across the tri-state regularly, bringing a full film-grade crew and gear. Recent NYC work includes the Formation Bio launch film and the New York premiere of our documentary Conversion.
What kinds of video do you make in NYC?
+
Brand and commercial film, live and hybrid event content, product and launch video, founder and executive stories, and original documentary. All held to the same cinematic standard.
How fast can you deliver for a launch or press moment?
+
When you’re against a launch or breaking news, our Express Unit works on an accelerated timeline scoped to the moment. For Formation Bio, that meant a finished launch film the morning after a same-day shoot. Larger cinematic pieces run in as little as 72 hours.
Do you work with agencies, or only brands direct?
+
Both. We work as a white-label or co-branded production partner for agencies, and directly with in-house marketing, comms, and events teams. You run the client relationship; we handle the cameras.
Can you handle complex or technical subject matter?
+
Yes, we’ve produced for biotech, finance, and deep-tech teams, translating complex subject matter into cinematic story that stays credible to experts while landing with a broader audience.
