About Connect Films
Video production & direction

Proper video production is beyond fancy lenses and lighting, because it connects your audiences to the heart of your story.

Passion for developing the story

As a team, we create videos that move, excite and engage. We strive to find the heart and humanity in every video we produce. 

Founder & Director, Josh Youngbar, says that “our strength is making an emotional connection with the audience. Whether it’s sadness, or hope, or laughter, that’s the power in the storytelling.”

Josh founded Connect Films because he noticed that too often companies are underserved in video production. “Many teams don’t take the extra step to make a true impact.”
