Our story
Froth & Fur was founded by industry producer Patrick Ortman after years of video work for clients from Madison Avenue to the palm tree boulevards of Hollywood. We are 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 do it for big brands and agencies you know. And we do it for ones you'll know soon.
We are in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. We make videos for clients everywhere.
work differently
We don't cover you with red tape or make you work with low-level gatekeepers who keep you away from the action. You get an experience with transparency, access, and accountability from prep to final cut.
Believe in something
- Everybody's got a story, and we treat every story 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.
- 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.
