Clefilmco

Founded in 2008 and based in Cleveland, Ohio, The Cleveland Film Company makes documentary and commercial films for clients around the world, with roots that trace back to scripted narrative filmmaking. The company describes itself as a group of authentic storytellers, drawing on documentary's unscripted approach alongside commercial work built to be poised, poignant, and purposeful.

Work spans four disciplines: documentary, commercial, animation, and narrative. Documentary projects lean into unscripted storytelling, while commercial productions aim for a more composed, deliberate tone. Animation work focuses on bringing artwork, characters, and ideas to life, and narrative projects draw on the company's scripted filmmaking background. Project management follows what the company calls a simplified approach, and the company does not accept unsolicited information or material from outside parties.

The portfolio includes a mix of documentary and branded projects: "Mysteries of the Abandoned: The Real Shawshank Episode," the "TROPHIES" docuseries following LeBron James and Draymond Green, "The Gold Standard" basketball documentary, a fan event tied to "The Fault In Our Stars," and "The Bet," an UNINTERRUPTED original. Together these credits point to a company comfortable moving between long-form documentary storytelling, athlete-focused content, and branded entertainment tie-ins.
