At Connect Films, we passionately believe that every story is as unique as a fingerprint, and every project offers its own distinct opportunity to tell a great story.  

As a team, we create videos that move, excite and engage. We strive to find the heart and humanity in every video we produce. 

Founder & Director, Josh Youngbar, says that “our strength is making an emotional connection with the audience. Whether it’s sadness, or hope, or laughter, that’s the power in the storytelling.”

Passion for developing the story

Josh founded Connect Films because he noticed that too often companies are underserved in their video production needs. “Many teams don’t take the extra step to make a true impact.”
