Rooted in the River, Told Through Craft

Guided by the flow of history and the craft of film, we bring to life the unique stories of small businesses, artisans and cherished weddings.

Behind the Lens

Welcome to Old River Stories Co. — a film production company based in Wisconsin, planted along the Mississippi River. We’re storytellers deeply rooted in the rhythms and spirit of our local river communities. Through our lens, we honor the unique stories of individuals and organizations, fostering a strong sense of place and purpose.

Old River Stories Co. is a reflection of my own journey… Living along the banks of the Mississippi River for the past decade has not only inspired my craft; it’s where many of the most meaningful chapters of my life have been written. It’s where I met my husband and found deep companionship, grew steadily in my faith, graduated college with a sense of accomplishment, bought our first home and made it our own, built a small business from the ground up, and now joyfully raise our son.

As a filmmaker, I’m drawn to stories that feel honest, grounded, and human. My work is shaped by years of listening—paying attention to quiet moments, shared history, and the places that form us. Whether I’m creating films for individuals, families, or mission-driven organizations, my goal is always the same: to tell stories with care, intention, and respect, capturing not just what things look like, but what they mean.
