Mission Statement
Sola Fide Films was established with three core values in mind; Client Success, Award-Winning Work, and Humanitarian Aid. The first two are our business model, and the last is our mission. Our goal is to win marketing awards for our clients and to drive traffic to our clients' platforms. We subsidize our involvement with non-profits and mission-oriented services through our profits, because we believe in a B2B business model that can still give back to the greater good.
Each member of our team has been working in professional video production and marketing for the vast majority of their careers, and Sola Fide Films exists as the private solution that delivers Hollywood-studio productions as a result. We are filmmakers and friends, artists and achievers. Send us a message and come find out why so many incredible companies have trusted us with their marketing investments.
Our Team
Bryan Racine
CEO | Lead Consultant
From 2009 to 2019 I launched four successful video marketing and production companies; Audiotree LLC, Northwoods Revolution, BigRoom LLC, and Sterling Wedding Cinema. Each offered it's own unique challenges, but the one constant was my ability to successfully build and lead a team that produced top-tier visuals with a strong emphasis on branding, entertainment, and messaging.
In 2019 I was given the opportunity to start my own enterprise, Sola Fide Films. This company is the culmination of my team's work in the video production and marketing industry. For our clients we exist as a one of a kind resource for bringing their creative visions to life by understanding their brand and maximizing their resources.
