ethos
Wild Confluence is a full service production company that creates mission driven documentaries & progressive branded content. We love collaborating with like-minded brands and nonprofits to develop stories, build campaigns and leverage grassroots engagement. Our work has been hailed by Outside Magazine, nominated for Vimeo’s “Best of the Year” Award, selected by “Short of the Week”, and can be found touring with numerous festivals, including Telluride Mountain Film, Banff, Wild & Scenic and 5 Point.
We are committed to elevating the planet’s most pressing issues, critical movements, and innovative leaders. Humans are hard wired to tell stories - we've been doing it around the campfire for 200,000 years. At Wild Confluence we believe that when storytelling achieves the perfect alchemy of movement, emotion, light, and music — we can power movements for good.
We are based in Alaska but work on productions around the world.
COLIN ARISMAN
Founder • Director • Executive Producer
Colin Arisman founded Wild Confluence in 2014 because of a burning belief that documentary films are one of the most powerful tools for building movements. Colin has a hand in all of our projects and is most often in the directors chair. He takes pride in collaborating and managing the stages of production including concepting with clients, building production teams, working alongside editors, and coordinating post within our amazing network of colorists, music composers, motion artists and audio engineers.
ELSA SEBASTIAN
Producer • Director • Editor
Elsa is a lifelong Alaskan and grew up on a fishing boat off the coast of Prince of Wales Island. She cut her teeth in filmmaking at Wellesley College where she studied documentary theory and production. Elsa sets the bar high for our storytelling and demands a crystal clear editorial focus in every production. Her keen instincts and attention to detail have made her a core part of our team. She has received the Alaska Conservation Foundation’s award for Excellence for her work on our film Understory. In recent years she has worked on BBC TV productions as a captain and safety officer.
