Our Story
Founded officially in 2024
From passion projects to purpose-driven storytelling.
Northcurrent Studios was born from a decade of filmmaking that started under the name Chahley Studios — a one-woman production company fuelled by curiosity, grit, and a deep love for real stories.
What began with creative experiments and late-night edits slowly grew into something more serious: a calling to document the raw, the real, and the overlooked. After years of client work, self-funded projects, and learning every role on set, it became clear — the work that lit us up wasn’t polished commercials. It was people. Purpose. Place.
So, we rebranded- and turned it into an official company with the help of Simaran Hubbell.
Northcurrent Studios now exists to tell cinematic, documentary-style stories and imagery for outdoor and adventure brands who actually give a damn. We’re not here for surface-level. We’re here to help you say something that matters.
This isn’t just production. It’s a partnership — built on trust, creative risk, and the belief that your story deserves more than stock footage.
All footage and editing are created
without the use of artificial intelligence.
