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.

Our motion pictures have landed on the front page of the New York Times and the Atlantic. The latest received three award nominations at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in 2021. Amazon Prime, the Brooklyn Academy of Music Cinemafest, and the Walker Art Center Cinema have screened them. On the client side lately, we've produced branded content for a Fortune 100 company about the future of the cloud and energy consumption, a 45 minute silent documentary for large-format projection at Kieran Folliard’s “culinary hothouse” Food Building, and taught Cardinals at the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development how to make their own short videos in one week for Pope Francis’ international COVID response efforts.

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.
