When considering the bustling hubs of film and video production in the United States, cities like Los Angeles or New York might spring to mind–but for us at Rock Creek Productions, it’s the city of Washington DC, the political epicenter of the nation, that’s our creative playground.
DC Boasts a Mecca of Talent
One of the most exhilarating aspects of working in video production in DC is the flourishing diversity and creativity of the talent who call this city home – this is a side of Washington that not many people are aware of, simply because its reputation as the capital overshadows this aspect.
The city is a goldmine for specialized talent – set design, unique props, location scouting, and production support services. We’ve found that the depth of expertise available here, from lighting design and make-up artistry to motion graphics and editing, has consistently upped our game. With all this help, we can create anything: Do you need it to snow or rain? Check. Do you need fire or explosions? Check. We can only do this because Washington, DC, is teeming with talent.
As a Video Production Company in DC, We Get to Work with Diverse Clients
This cultural milieu lives alongside the exact profile of the clients we love to work with — government bodies, internet giants, tech behemoths, and prestigious universities.
As creative individuals, the inspiration (and the variety of projects) Washington DC offers us is endless. We often joke about how our vast range of projects makes us such excellent conversationalists. From counter-terrorist training to breastfeeding babies, from actual rocket science to sexual assault prevention and response training, from corporate video services to communicating with children – we’ve done this all and more. This work has taken us to nearly all 50 states and even abroad.

Learning Everyday from DC Industry Experts
And then there’s the sheer multitude of people we meet. We’ve talked to Supreme Court Justices, Cabinet Secretaries, military Generals, and regular citizens. The access we have to subject matter experts in this city is unparalleled.
Being located so close to our political and economic hub is like a gift that keeps giving since it affords such broad exposure to a variety of subject matters. We are privileged to have a career offering this level of intellectual stimulation. This is not possible anywhere else in the country.
Washington DC: A Place that Fuels Our Growth
Such a robust landscape has not only built up our reputation but has also facilitated our growth across various industries. Our close-knit relationships with prime contractors, universities, and our very own contract vehicles (like our GSA contract to provide government video production services) have unlocked doors to nearly every federal agency. The ripple effect of these connections has led to more work in the corporate and non-profit sectors.
This symbiotic relationship with DC has empowered us to grow our technical and creative knowledge and experience. It has allowed us to produce documentary-style, interview-based programs, scripted drama, and narrative work for various purposes, including informational, training, fundraising, marketing, and promotion, while applying a variety of storytelling techniques, including comedy, sci-fi, and mystery as well as more straightforward approaches. It’s almost like we’re paid to let our imaginations soar, learn new things, and have fun.
