DHD Films

What DHD Films does

DHD Films is a privately held, Dallas-headquartered full-service video production and motion graphics studio founded in 2000, operating from a production studio at 2500 Farrington St with a team of 25+ members. The company's core offerings include brand films, legacy/documentary films, event experience production, corporate learning and development content, motion graphics and animation, video brochures, and studio rental, with capabilities extended into virtual reality, augmented reality, and immersive learning following the October 2024 acquisition of AMP Creative. Technology differentiators include LED volume virtual production infrastructure (one of the first such installations in North Texas), 360-degree video production (notably a world-first 360-degree heart transplant video with UT Southwestern in January 2018), motion graphics expertise, and emerging AI-powered production workflows. Notable client engagements span McKesson, Cisco, Dropbox, Delta Airlines, DFW International Airport, Texas Rangers, Parkland Hospital, Children's Health, Babson College, the National Medal of Honor Museum, and the Dallas Police Department, with claimed cumulative content views exceeding 500 million and a portfolio of 90+ creative awards including an Emmy.

The firm operates a sales-led, relationship-driven GTM anchored by Account Executives who source enterprise prospects via cold outreach, email, LinkedIn, industry events, and CRM-based lead tracking, producing tailored proposals with cross-functional teams. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements plus an emerging studio rental line, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than disclosed publicly. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across enterprise (Fortune 500 healthcare, technology, transportation, finance, and real estate), government and non-profit, mid-market and startup, and learning and development clients. The company holds multiple minority supplier certifications (NMSDC, HMSDC, NCTRCA, MBDA) that qualify it for supplier diversity procurement programs, supporting its Fortune 500 enterprise motion. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales with no self-service, marketplace, or channel reseller components, making sales capacity a key operating leverage point.
