Case Study: The North Face brings a cross-continent documentary to life with Frame.io

The North Face creates a 30-minute documentary with Frame.io across 2 continents

The North Face, a leading manufacturer of technical outdoor apparel, sponsored a complex documentary project across two continents. Their challenge was to enable remote creative collaboration between numerous stakeholders, including directors in Wisconsin, an editorial house in St. Louis, and clients in Europe, while managing a massive volume of footage and navigating a major story disruption due to geopolitical events. They turned to Frame.io and Adobe Creative Cloud to facilitate this process.

Frame.io provided the essential collaboration platform, centralizing assets and feedback. It allowed remote teams to exchange media, share precise frame-accurate notes, and streamline conversations globally. The solution enabled the successful production of a powerful 30-minute documentary that raised awareness for women's rights, with the film now being developed into a feature-length project. The measurable impact included the efficient management of 10TB of footage and coordination across three years of production involving teams on two continents.
