Wisconsin & Minnesota
Full-service film and media production. We bring serious craft to the Upper Midwest, so stories from this place get told by people from this place.
What We Do
We put the right eyes and hands behind the camera. Our production team covers every frame with intentionality.
The edit is where everything becomes itself. We stay with the work through picture lock and final mix.
A strong story is the foundation of everything. We develop original narratives and sharpen the language projects need.
From wedding days to brand campaigns, we apply the same cinematic standard to every format we touch.
Services available depend on the team member assigned to your project.
The Team
Director / Cinematographer
Nicholas is the founder of Emergency Pineapple Studios and the studio's primary director and cinematographer. With a strong eye for narrative composition and a background in stunt coordination, he brings bold visual intention to every frame. He started the studio with a clear belief: that Midwest storytellers should not have to leave home to make serious work.
Writer / Script Supervisor
Caterina is the studio's lead writer and script supervisor. She shepherds projects from first draft to final shooting script, maintaining narrative integrity from the page through production. Her work spans original screenplays, commercial copy, and on-set continuity, making sure every project stays true to its vision at every stage.
Sound Engineer / Editor
John handles the sonic and editorial life of every project. From boom operation on set to final sound mix in post, he ensures that what you hear is as deliberate as what you see. As the studio's editor, he brings a sharp rhythmic sensibility and a careful attention to pacing that shapes how stories land on screen.

Why Emergency Pineapple

Primarily serving eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, with reach across the broader Upper Midwest. We know this landscape and it shows in our work.
