Aurora Studios

Crafting compelling video stories.

Our Story

Aurora Studios began its journey in the vibrant city of Seattle, Washington, in the spring of 2018. Founded by Sarah Chen, a passionate filmmaker and graduate of the prestigious University of Washington film program, the studio was born from a desire to blend technical expertise with authentic storytelling. Sarah envisioned a company that not only produced visually stunning videos but also deeply resonated with audiences, effectively conveying each client's unique message. The initial years were marked by dedication and hard work, building a solid foundation and earning the trust of local businesses and organizations. What started as a small operation quickly grew, attracting talented individuals who shared Sarah’s vision and commitment to excellence.

From its humble beginnings in a small rented office space in the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood, Aurora Studios has steadily expanded its capabilities and reach. In 2021, we moved to a larger, state-of-the-art facility in the SoDo district, equipped with cutting-edge equipment and dedicated spaces for pre-production, filming, editing, and post-production. This expansion allowed us to take on larger and more complex projects, further solidifying our reputation as a leading video production company in the Pacific Northwest. Our commitment to innovation and adaptation has been a cornerstone of our success, continually exploring new technologies and creative techniques to deliver exceptional results for our clients.

We have been privileged to collaborate with a diverse range of clients, from small startups to established corporations, non-profit organizations, and individual artists. Each project has been an opportunity to learn, grow, and refine our craft. We cherish the relationships we have built with our clients and are immensely proud of the impact our videos have had, whether it’s increasing brand awareness, driving sales, or inspiring positive change in the community. Aurora Studios’ story is one of passion, perseverance, and a deep-seated belief in the power of visual storytelling to connect people and transform ideas into reality. We look forward to continuing this journey and creating even more compelling video narratives in the years to come.
