Vista Pop

About

Vista Pop is the production company of James Christenson.

Working with an ever growing group of cinematographers, editors, sound editors, musicians, producers, and directors based worldwide, Vista Pop turns visions into moving stories that persuade and provoke, educate and inspire. 

You’ve seen our work in the New York Times and the Atlantic. At BAM and HotDocs. Even at humbler places like Fargo’s Plains Art Museum and Barcelona’s best in indie film Americana Film Festival.

We chose motion pictures because it’s a primal medium – our brains are innately wired to receive its messages. Nobody needs to learn how to watch a movie. But it takes a professional to produce an effective one.

Whether you’re a brand manager, a politician on fire, an exec editor, or a sales agent, Vista Pop can bring your vision to screen.

Work for every screen.

Vista Pop is a research and relationship driven production company established in 2012 by director James Christenson in Minneapolis.

Our motion pictures have landed on the front page of the New York Times and the Atlantic. Major film festivals, Amazon Prime, and the Walker Art Center Cinema have screened them. We presently have two feature documentaries and a short documentary in the works, supported by NYC-based Field of Vision, numerous philanthropic organizations, and the State of Minnesota Arts Board. On the client side lately, we've produced branded content for a Fortune 100 company about the future of the cloud and energy consumption, developed innovative content for large-format projection and social media for food and beverage industry clients, and had our mass mobilization work featured in VOX Magazine.

As experienced directors, producers, DPs, editors in video and sound, composers and writers, we’ve worked with brand managers, appointed and elected officials, TV directors and journalists, entrepreneurs and original producers to deliver sophisticated motion pictures from concept to press coverage.
