Sound Off Films

What Sound Off Films does

Sound Off Films (legal entity: Sound Off, LLC) is a boutique nonfiction entertainment and branded-content production studio co-founded in 2014 by Adrienne Hall and Annie Costner, both previously credited on the Oscar-nominated documentary Racing Extinction. Headquartered in Miami with additional offices in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, the studio operates a project-execution network that has filmed in over 65 locations worldwide and serves enterprise clients across technology, entertainment, music, automotive, fashion, food and beverage, gaming, and banking. Reported headcount is 1–10.

The studio's offering is organized around three integrated service lines: commercial and branded content (broadcast spots, customer films, and developer-community series for clients such as Salesforce, Slack, Apple, Amazon, Minecraft/Mojang, Lyft, DoorDash, Mazda, Athleta, and Caixa Bank); entertainment and documentary production (including the Daytime Emmy-winning 'You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment,' the Gold Telly-winning 'Freedom is a Verb,' and the Emmy-nominated 'Wild Wild South: Lowcountry'); and specialized Latin content production for Amazon Music Latin and related partners. Revenue is generated primarily through professional-services project fees and, secondarily, through licensing of owned documentary IP. Pricing is custom-quoted per project, not publicly disclosed, and the go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales leveraging founder relationships.

Strategic positioning centers on a 'women-led, female-founded' brand identity and on access to Academy-level directing talent, exemplified by testimonials from Barry Jenkins and from senior producers at Salesforce Studios and McCann. The company has secured PRWeek Purpose Award finalist status (2023, for the Minecraft Mangroves campaign), Daytime Emmy recognition (2025), Gold Telly recognition (2026), and Wildscreen Panda Award and South East Emmy nominations. No external funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent-company relationships are disclosed in the input data.
