Silverline Films

What Silverline Films does

Silverline Films LLC is a privately held, Idaho-based full-service video production and photography studio founded in 2012 and co-owned by Micah Ness and Josiah Ness. The studio operates with a small core team of four (two co-owners, a lead editor, and a project/office coordinator) from a Nampa, Idaho headquarters while executing projects across the United States and internationally. It produces commercial brand videos, product commercials, promotional content, aerial cinematography, photography, adventure travel and extreme sports documentaries, corporate training videos, real estate marketing videos, and wedding videography for a mix of outdoor recreation, tactical/sporting goods, adventure tourism, and SMB clients, with notable engagements for Suzuki, Pelican, Oakley, Vortex, Kryptek, Muck Boots, Sony Alpha, ScorpionEXO, and Goodyear.

The underlying production stack spans HD through 6K capture, aerial cinematography, high frame rate slow motion, studio and green screen production, and a post-production suite covering editorial (Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro), motion graphics, color grading, custom music composition, and voice-over. Vertically integrated pre-production (concept, scripting, storyboarding, location scouting, talent hiring) and post-production (editing, distribution) are delivered in-house. The founders' personal backcountry experience (rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, ultra trail running, Alaska guiding) is a defining capability that allows the studio to physically access and authentically capture extreme and outdoor environments that generalist studios cannot.

Revenue is generated entirely on a project-by-project, quote-based engagement model with no disclosed recurring retainers or subscription pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach, the public portfolio website, active social media (Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), client testimonials, referral networks within the outdoor/adventure industry, and a proprietary podcast ('Silverline Behind the Frame') distributed on iTunes and Spotify. The customer base spans 35+ brands across outdoor, tactical, fitness, adventure tourism, technology, and events verticals, with multi-year engagements from clients such as The Campaign App (5 years), Snake River CrossFit (multi-year), and 60th Parallel Adventures (2+ years).
