Strategic content. Emotional resonance.

Rosalini Films, who we are...

We are an Emmy award-winning production company, having broad international experience in all film and digital formats, including giant-screen IMAX®.

We shape the idea — the vision, the message — then select the artistic approach, create the images, choose the words, provide a music score and assemble all for a finished product that takes wing.

How...

First, a simple formula: research and collaboration with the client or sponsor to determine target audience, overarching goal/mission, and potential strategies to accomplish that goal.

Then, in execution, honoring the primacy of characterization, story, meaning—always.

Finally, regardless of technology or technique—or a film’s topic, locations, running time or budget—strategic content made memorable by the emotional resonance we create is what matters most.

What we do...

We’ve conceived and produced more than 80 projects in the fields of

Public & Investor Relations

Image Advertising

Education

Fundraising

Public Television 

and

Giant-screen Entertainment

We specialize in high-end projects, are engaged generally on a ‘design-build’ basis, and, if required, employ the most cutting-edge cinema techniques and technologies in existence, including 8-12K UHD, HFR (high frame rate) and HDR (high dynamic range) image capture/processing and up to 12-channel cinema audio.  

Though our body of work spans a wide variety of subjects, cinematic styles and settings, our films all share three things in common: they have a ‘soul’; that soul is a positive one; and each film is made with purpose—clear-cut, sharply-defined purpose.  

Where we've been...

On land, in the air, and undersea, our work has taken us throughout the United States and its territories and to more than 20 countries on five continents, including into the Amazon, East Africa, the Far East, throughout the Caribbean, across the interior of Iceland, and more.

Where we've been seen...

Our films have been seen by diverse audiences and in a variety of formats and media, ranging from 30-second commercials to feature-length documentaries.

In addition to nationwide syndication as well as broadcast on the Discovery Channel, Hallmark Channel and National Public Television, our films are exhibited at special events, visitor centers, and in 5-story, giant-screen IMAX® cinemas.

Non-profits…

We’ve also worked with natural history and technology museums, nationally-acclaimed zoos and an aquarium, one of the nation’s oldest open-lands conservation organizations, a classical music festival, a ballet academy and various other charitable entities. We’ve assisted these organizations in increasing public awareness, furthering their educational and cultural missions, and raising several hundred million dollars in capital campaign funds.

Track record...

For-profit or philanthropic, most of our clients are repeat customers and we’re proud of our on-time/on-budget track record — creating value for our clients and sponsors.

Orientation & leadership…

Our artistic orientation and aesthetic are consistent with those of the company’s principal, Dugan Rosalini, which are founded on his earliest on-the-job training—mentored by one of American television’s founding pioneers—and college studies devoted to Liberal Arts, Graphic and Architectural Design, and film under the discipline of Dramatic Art, associated closely with the University of Iowa’s graduate-level, creative writing program—its celebrated Writers’ Workshop.

Recognition...

• Three Emmy® awards, a fourth Emmy® nomination, and six first-place awards from major international festivals, such as the Virgin Islands, Chicago, Houston, and American festivals.

• Invitation to the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar; special recognition from the International Wildlife Film Festival; inclusion in the American Library Association’s 'Fabulous Films for Young Adults.'
