Our story
Froth & Fur began as the brainchild of writer/director Patrick Ortman, born from years of video work for clients on Madison Avenue to the palm tree boulevards of Hollywood. We’ve become a bicoastal team of directors, editors, artists, animators, and craftspeople known for making beautiful, soulful videos with plenty of heart. The kind that engage and inspire.
We've done it for more than a dozen Fortune 500s. We've done it for big brands and agencies you know. And we do it for brands you'll know soon.
Our team is based in Los Angeles and New York City. We make videos for clients everywhere.
work differently
We don't subject you to red tape or account reps who keep you away from the action. You get a single producer all the way through from creative through final cut. Giving you transparency, access, and accountability.
Believe in something
- Everybody's got a story, and we treat every one of them with respect.
- Even the most complicated things can and should be explained so a 6 year old can understand.
- People respond to stories that inspire them. But first you have to engage them.
What I love most about Patrick and team is that they treat us like a partner, not just a client. They genuinely cared about the success of each video we created and the impact they had on our users and engagement. They had a deep understanding of our brand and positioning, which made it easier to work together and deliver completed videos more quickly.
- Nicole Sampson, MassMutual
We have received nothing but exuberant feedback from all stakeholders - from our CEO to potential business partners who have been "blown away". This video will provide value to us for years to come (that is high praise considering the speed at which these types of videos usually lose relevancy). Kudos!
- Chief Marketing Officer, Right At School
We couldn't have found a better partner. Not only did Patrick and his team execute with craftsman precision, he also helped us as a creative partner -- a critical spice in the secret sauce of persuasion creative. They opened our eyes to what was possible.
- Jon Jones, Relation Agency
Patrick's team can do it all: produce, direct, shoot, edit, create motion graphics, do the audio mix in ProTools, mastering, and more. Everything in a single resource. On top of that, he produced these challenging short films with soul and artistry. He would not sacrifice quality at any turn. As a reward, the piece earned multiple compliments and inquiries from members of our C-level audience.
- Britt Benston, Director Creative Services Anderson School of Management UCLA
They were very responsive and their project management was one of the best experiences I have had. They were very communicative throughout the process, checked in on a regular basis, and their communication style was very transparent and honest. When issues or last minute changes did arise they jumped on them immediately and had resolutions within a day or two to get the project back on track.They really set themselves apart with their communication.
- Cody Creighton, Creative Director Unrivaled
For us, they were the perfect partner for our project – Patrick is truly passionate about film, and fully understands all the processes within. He is also trustworthy & reliable – which was hugely important to us being overseas and working with significant clients.
