ABOUT US.
Your story deserves to be told like a film.
Emberhouse Media Group is a cinematic production company creating brand films, corporate content, commercial campaigns, documentaries, and strategic video content for organizations that want to communicate with greater impact.
Our roots are in filmmaking.
Co-founders Forrest McBride and Adam Kolenberg met as teenagers while working at a movie theater, where a shared obsession with film eventually became a creative partnership. Both went on to study film and fine arts at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette before beginning their careers on professional film and television productions throughout Louisiana.
Working alongside experienced crews on major productions shaped the way we approach our work today: preparation matters, every department matters, and every creative decision should serve the story.
Emberhouse grew from that foundation with a simple idea:
Bring the craft and intentionality of filmmaking to the stories businesses need to tell.

How We Work.
We don't believe cinematic means complicated for the sake of being complicated.
It means being intentional.
Understanding the audience before choosing the shot. Knowing what the story needs before the cameras roll. Building a production around the business objective rather than forcing every project into the same template.
Our background spans film production, corporate communications, branded content, cinematography, photography, editing, and color finishing. That combination allows us to think about both sides of the equation: what makes something beautiful and what makes it useful.
Because great production should do both.
⸻
Experience Across Industries.
Our experience spans organizations and projects across industries including energy, financial services, real estate, mortgage lending, healthcare and medical devices, HVAC, transportation, hospitality, education, and professional services.
Every industry has its own language, audience, and challenges.
Our job is to understand them — then find the human story inside.
⸻
Where We Work.
With roots in Houston, Texas and Lafayette, Louisiana, Emberhouse provides cinematic video production throughout the Gulf Coast and beyond.
Our production model allows us to scale around the needs of each project, bringing together the right creative and production resources whether we're creating a focused interview-driven piece or managing a larger multi-day production.

Why Emberhouse?
There is more content being made today than ever before.
That doesn't mean more of it is being remembered.
We created Emberhouse because we believe businesses deserve storytelling with the same care given to the films, documentaries, and images that stay with us.
Not content simply made to fill a feed.
Work with something to say.
Your story deserves to be told like a film.
Let's Create Something
Worth Remembering.
