Real stories from the shadowed world

creative team, driven by story

Dark Holler Studios is dedicated to exploring the eerie, weird, and strange aspects of your world. Our dedicated team will combine their unique skills to tell your unexplainable story through powerful visual storytelling, allowing others to share your experience. 

Our ensemble of professionals collaborate seamlessly, leveraging their collective skills to conjure immersive documentaries that invite viewers to step out of their comfortable lives and question all they think they know about reality itself. Our cinematographers, editors, and researchers work together to cast light into the darkness and reveal what is hidden. 

It is our mission to present an authentic experience of the weird and paranormal through a careful fusion of compelling visuals, gripping narratives, and a meticulous attention to detail. We want to do more than entertain you with cheap thrills.

What people are saying…

"All film is captured through the eye of the cinematographer, and all film productions are met with a storm at some point. When that happens, it’s best to have a person behind the camera that can calmly weather the storm of personalities, locations and time. Ward Hiney is that cinematographer. Of the three films I’ve produced or directed with Mr. Hiney behind the camera he was always the sure-footed one and the one with the vision I could not see. I can not recommend Mr. Hiney more, not just as a visionary, but also as a person. I am looking forward to working with him again soon." 

— Joseph Granda, Writer/Director/Producer

“Ward’s work is singular and unique. A true visionary with incredible story-telling talent, and a work ethic nearly unmatched.”

— Seth Breedlove, Owner, Small Town Monsters

““Over the years we’ve used several companies for video production, and DH Films has continually delivered the highest quality product of them all. Our industry requires the ability to keep up with fast-paced movement, identify key areas of focus, and form all of that action into a product that catches the client’s eye, and educates them. DH Films goes above and beyond, and has hands down increased our reach and revenue.”

— Aaron Jannetti, Co-owner Endeavor Defense and Fitness, Creator Knife Control Concepts and Active Shooter Response
