Brand New Films

What Brand New Films does

Brand New Films is a California-based, founder-owned boutique video production company established in 2017 in San Francisco by Dennis Belogorsky. The firm provides end-to-end video production services spanning brand videos, talent branding, customer stories, advertising campaigns, podcasts, animation, and documentary filmmaking, organized around three integrated service lines: Video & Media Production, Project Development & Management, and Video Publishing & Strategy. Its customer base is anchored in Bay Area startups — including CodeSignal, Shopmonkey, PartsTech, Alvys, and Dorna — with a secondary segment of established enterprises such as Nextdoor, Ooma, Shaklee, CVS, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, plus select engagements in education, nonprofit, real estate, and consumer goods. The core operating model is project-based professional services with quote-priced custom fees, direct client engagement through a website inquiry form and a single phone line, and a distributed delivery model built on a small in-house team supplemented by international affiliates across the US, Taiwan, the Middle East, the Philippines, the Caucasus, and Europe.

The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public-company affiliation; ownership commentary indicates founder control with Dennis Belogorsky actively authoring company content. Technology infrastructure is minimal in disclosed terms — no proprietary software, APIs, SDKs, integrations, or AI capabilities are mentioned — and competitive differentiation is positioned entirely on creative quality, storytelling authenticity, the urgency of an internal team combined with the polish of an external agency, lower overhead than traditional agencies, and a globally diverse creative team (team members born in Vietnam, Russia, and Ukraine). The company's value proposition emphasizes long-term creative partnerships and strategic vision support over transactional vendor relationships.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct, relying on a website portfolio as the primary marketing channel, categorized work showcases (Brand & Marketing, Animation, Documentary), and inbound inquiry conversion. The pricing model is opaque and quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers. Operational footprint is regional (Bay Area) with a global reach claim via affiliates, and the company has remained a privately held, founder-controlled entity since inception with no disclosed mergers, acquisitions, leadership changes, restructuring, regulatory actions, or external capital events.
