This Land Films is a documentary production studio. We make our own feature films and bring that same character-driven approach to commercial and branded work.
This Land Films is a creative production company focused on character-driven storytelling for independent and commercial clients. Based in North Carolina and California, the studio works globally, bringing a documentary sensibility and cinematic craft to branded content, commercial campaigns, and original film projects alike.
Founded by Erin Brethauer and Tim Hussin, This Land Films brings over a decade of experience in documentary storytelling to its commercial work. The pair honed their craft at the San Francisco Chronicle, where they co-produced the weekly video column The Regulars and co-directed the paper's first feature-length documentary, Last Men Standing, which premiered at San Francisco's historic Castro Theatre and toured festivals worldwide.
Their current feature documentary Stray Embers is currently in film festivals. That same eye for authentic, character-driven narrative now shapes the studio's work for commercial and branded clients, bringing real stories, real people, and cinematic craft to every project.
