Our Story

I nspiration is easy to come by when you grow up along the Gulf Coast. Surrounded by wildlife, nature fueled my passion for art, photography and visual storytelling, leading me to over a decade of collaboration alongside scientists, journalists and explorers worldwide. Over that time, I came to understand the beauty and fragility of our world, the central role of conservation and the power of perception.

​Out of that fertile ground grew Coral & Oak, a unique production company dedicated to telling stories that educate and inspire audiences to engage with the creatures, people and world around them. Our films, like our namesake, strike the balance between delicate beauty and steadfast purpose required for truly transformative storytelling.
Our well-traveled team of filmmakers and artists bring their own eclectic backgrounds and infectious creativity to every project, providing the collaborative experience and tailor-made products that have become our signature.
Please take a moment to explore our site, experience our work and reach out to us if you’d like to learn more about who we are and what we can do for you. I’m looking forward to working with you to accomplish wonderful things!

What We're Good At

We pride ourselves on our ability to tell thought-provoking stories in any medium, and we’re eager to work with you from pre-production to final-cut. Take a look below to learn more about our multimedia services and let us know how we can help you inspire, advocate and entertain your audience.

Project Development

Sometimes it’s hard to know exactly where to start with your story, or what medium to use to tell it. Using our signature process, we’ll work with you from concept to delivery to ensure your next project is designed to reach your audience with the right message delivered the right way.

FILM

Remarkable things can be achieved at the crossroads of experienced filmmaking and innovative camera technology. At Coral and Oak Productions, we’ve assembled both to create the stunning, high definition video and web-ready production quality necessary to inspire today’s audiences.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Simple, beautiful and thought-provoking photography is still among the most powerful way to create a conversation or plant an idea. From documenting conservation efforts to photographing never-before seen wildlife, we have the know-how and timing to get that elusive, perfect shot.

ANIMATION

Entertaining characters and cutting edge animation are in high demand, and Coral and Oak Productions is equipped to utilize visual story-telling tools where live-action film often falls short. Our award-winning work has translated complex concepts into relatable stories for audiences of all ages.

ILLUSTRATION

From scientific illustration and water colors to digital painting and infographics, our studio still believes in the power of print. Our combination of precise artistic execution and well-honed design instincts produces web-ready media that gets people talking, tweeting and taking action.

OUTREACH

Even the best imagery is no substitute for real-life interaction with the world around us. That’s why we’re delighted to facilitate children’s wildlife and conservation workshops. We love channeling our passion for conservation and advocacy to inspire understanding and reverence for the natural world.
