Woodwalk

What Woodwalk does

Woodwalk is a privately held B2B film production company operating from offices in New York, North Carolina, and Seattle. The firm produces branded video campaigns, commercials, corporate videos, documentaries, and digital content for enterprise and mid-market clients spanning sports (USTA), banking (Bank of America), food and beverage (Prego), healthcare (Duke Cancer Institute, Community Health Plan of Washington), spirits (Bombay Sapphire), and e-commerce (Amazon). Founded by directors David Gwynn and Will Anderson-Beck, the studio positions itself around a "heart-centered," human-forward storytelling approach that emphasizes authentic emotional narratives over staged advertising tropes.

The company's core offering is end-to-end film production — from concept and cinematography through directing, editing, sound design, and color grading — delivered as custom, project-based engagements. Woodwalk's portfolio reflects a roster-led rather than volume-driven business model, with marquee projects including USTA's Coaches campaign, Bank of America's The Portos, Duke Cancer Institute's "Lori" documentary, Bombay Sapphire's Sensory Auction, and the Amazon Key by Amazon commercial. Marketing is conducted primarily through the firm's portfolio website (woodwalk.co) and organic social channels on Instagram, Vimeo, and Facebook, with lead generation relying on industry networking, agency referrals, and direct client outreach.

Woodwalk generates revenue through custom-scoped film production projects quoted on a per-engagement basis, effectively one-time project fees with no recurring SaaS, licensing, or platform component. There is no disclosed pricing, no proprietary technology product, no AI infrastructure, and no publicly disclosed financials. The firm operates as a small, founder-led creative agency whose competitive position is anchored in industry recognition (SXSW Innovation Award Finalist, CLIO Silver Award, Webby Award nominee, The One Show nominee) and a portfolio of selective enterprise clients.
