about
Beam In is an impact - driven content production studio that intersects visual storytelling and technology. Whether through films, television or digital media, the next dimension of entertainment does more than entertain: it inspires connection, progress and audience engagement.
To elevate causes addressed in our content, we partner with industry players, philanthropists, brands, nonprofits, policy makers, social sector organizations, corporations and schools to create social action campaigns that extend the life span and impact of our content.
We also lend our passion for impactful storytelling to for-profit and nonprofit organizations to showcase who they are, their “why” and what they’re committed to, thereby helping organizations elevate brand awareness, build meaningful relationships, and achieve maximum integrity and client engagement.

Our work has aired internationally, in theaters and on networks like HBO, Netflix, Discovery, CNN, FOX, TruTV, Nickelodeon, Vice, ABC and CBS. We’ve also helped brands and organizations increase customer engagement, generate awareness, and raise funds.
We understand that the power of our medium goes beyond entertaining - to influence, inform and engage - and we are committed to the responsibilities bestowed upon us as ‘impactainment’ creators.
Most of all, we love what we do. Creativity with a purpose fuels our souls and we are excited to lead our industry toward impact-driven entertainment production.
