WHO WE ARE
Reelxplorers is a creative storytelling video team that works with non-profits, organizations and businesses to extend their reach and gain better exposure to the issues they stand for.
Powerful stories promote empathy and are one of the most influential tools for a cause. Through our ability to visualize a narrative and produce it on screen in a compelling way, we can help your audience understand and connect on a deeper level, inspiring them to act.
Recently, we helped non-profits in Denver raise over $220,000 in donations. We can help you build awareness for your cause and inspire action.

HOW IT ALL STARTED
Working Together
While traveling through out Africa and South East Asia, we met people who made us look at the world in a different way.
They showed us how to see with more compassion and listen with more understanding. We started reelxplorers as a platform to create films for important causes worldwide. We want to bring a voice to those in the world that have little opportunity but a lot of heart.
