Pair Bond Productions
San Francisco based Pair Bond Productions LLC is a boutique production company operating throughout Northern California and around the world.
Nearly anywhere in the world,
no production too small.
Small crews with a light footprint, at home & abroad,
At home and abroad we specialize in creating meaningful stills, motion picture, and broadcast with small, discreet crews, with a very light footprint. When called for, our crews are like friendly ghosts, we leave no trace.
Foreign language capacities
Foreign language capacity and inter-cultural communication is a specialty. If you need a multi-lingual crew stateside or overseas, we can help. We maintain a network of trustworthy and talented crew & partner production companies at home and around the world.
We understand, you might not have a second chance.
We understand the demands of producing images far from home. We understand live events. We understand interviews. Most importantly we know you probably won’t get a second take. We plan accordingly.
Corporate, industrial, & documentary,
musical performances, & cultural events,
livestream & broadcast…
…anywhere.
Give us a call. We’d love to learn more about what you want to create. We’d love to share with you how we create a relaxed, well-executed creative process. We’re comfortable working as a part of a bigger machine, but we also thrive when we’re given the reins to lead projects.

The crew we employ:
Every project is different, and every crew is assembled with that in mind. We make it a point to engage crew members who bring a well-rounded worldview to set. We believe that every crewmember brings not only their skillset but their life-experience. We seek to leverage that life-experience by creating an environment where listening and curiosity build better, more authentic creative output.
Let's create together…
