Brand Film & Commercial Production
Dear Summer is a brand film and commercial production company in Washington DC and New York City. We produce cinematic brand videos that give organizations a visual identity beyond a single campaign — work that resonates with audiences and gets used across web, broadcast, social, and live event display.
A brand film isn't a commercial — it's how your audience experiences who you are. Our brand video process starts with understanding your audience, your message, and the outcome you need. We develop creative concepts, write scripts, plan production logistics, and execute shoots with cinema-grade equipment and experienced crew.
Post-production includes professional video editing, color grading, motion graphics, and sound design — everything delivered in formats optimized for broadcast, web, social media, and live event display. We also produce promotional videos, testimonial videos, social media content, and explainer videos for clients who need ongoing content alongside flagship brand work.
We've produced brand films and promotional content for clients ranging from the OWN Network and Leidos to emerging consumer brands, media companies, and cultural organizations. Based in Washington DC with a strong presence in New York City, Dear Summer brings the production value of a large agency with the responsiveness and personal attention of a boutique studio.
