McGrath Films is the work of Tommy McGrath — a filmmaker who cares deeply about people and believes stories are one of the most meaningful ways to honor the lives we live.
Tommy’s passion for filmmaking didn’t start with cameras or techniques. It started with people. Their journeys, their purpose, the quiet things they’re building, and the meaningful work they feel called to do. His approach is simple: listen well, steward the moment, and create films that reflect the heart behind the story.
At the center of his work is a simple belief:
when you truly see people — their heart, their vision, their effort — you have a responsibility to steward that story with care.
For Tommy, filmmaking isn’t just creative work; it’s a way to honor what God has entrusted to him: the ability to listen, to notice, and to help people communicate their purpose with excellence.
While McGrath Films is built on Tommy’s vision and hands-on filmmaking, he collaborates with trusted ACs, editors, and specialists when a project calls for it — people who share the same values of integrity, humility, and craftsmanship. Together, they build films that serve a purpose and leave an impact.
At the end of the day, Tommy sees filmmaking as a way to serve others: helping brands, founders, and organizations communicate who they are, what they stand for, and the good they’re bringing into the world.
The Mission
McGrath Films was built for those who live with purpose — the builders, guides, founders, and changemakers shaping a better world.
From Alaskan rivers to disaster zones, we go where real stories live. We believe adventure isn’t just a backdrop — it’s the proving ground for character, grit, and meaning.
Our films celebrate people who care deeply, work hard, and create something that lasts.
Our Philosophy
McGrath Films exists at the intersection of story and strategy. Every project starts with listening — understanding the heart behind what you do — and then building a cinematic narrative that helps others see it, feel it, and act on it.
We don’t chase trends or stage emotion. We build stories that endure. Because when filmmaking is done with honesty and intention, it doesn’t just look good — it creates lasting impact for the people and missions it represents.
Who We Partner With
We stand beside the brands and organizations helping people live fuller lives — out in the world and within themselves.
Our partners are the ones who lead with purpose and provide life-giving products. Outdoor brands that spark adventure and connection. Nonprofits that meet people where they are. Small businesses built on integrity, craftsmanship, and care.
They’re the makers, guides, and changemakers shaping a better world — one experience, one story, one act of service at a time.
McGrath Films aim is to amplify their work. To turn their impact into imagery, their mission into movement, and their values into stories that outlast trends. Because when you’re doing something that truly matters, your story deserves to be told with the same intention you put into the work itself.
