Acorn Studios

A digital storytelling division of Oak City Intelligence.

Give intelligence a human heart.

Technology can make more possible. Storytelling makes it matter. Acorn Studios turns complex ideas, meaningful work and the value you bring to people into stories worth understanding, remembering and sharing, each one shaped by an Emmy Award-⁠winning storyteller inside an AI-⁠powered studio.

Intelligence can tell us what is happening. A well-⁠told story helps us understand why it matters.

Built for a business that has already won its growth phase and is stepping into what comes next: a new territory, a new offering, a new audience. The push that got you here will not carry you into what's next. That takes a story.

Three ways in

Acorn Story Films

Premium human-⁠centered storytelling, led by an Emmy Award-⁠winning storyteller.

  • Brand and company films
  • Founder and executive stories
  • Customer testimonials and case studies
  • Recruitment, culture and mission films
  • Documentary-⁠style impact stories

Help people understand not only what your business does, but why it matters.

Acorn AI Films

AI-⁠powered video, human-⁠directed.

  • AI-⁠generated cinematic brand spots
  • Product and concept visualizations
  • Animated or stylized educational content
  • Campaign variations and short-⁠form social videos
  • Concept films, storyboards and pitch visualizations

The flexibility of AI with the judgment, intention and emotional intelligence of an experienced director.

Acorn Story Strategy

The thinking before the production. Stands on its own, or leads into either film service.

  • Narrative and message development
  • Brand positioning and executive messaging
  • Sales presentations and investor narratives
  • Customer journey storytelling
  • Video strategy and content planning

Find the story before deciding how to tell it.

Each service stands on its own. Story Strategy can lead into either film, and an Acorn AI Film client can grow into a larger documentary or live-⁠action production later.

We start with a creative conversation: who you are, what you're building, and how your story needs to reach the people it's for. We draft a script as part of your proposal. You read it, tell us what to change, and sign off. Then we make it.

Most pieces run a minute or under. A longer piece is available, priced for the extra time it takes to tell.

Every business has a story only it can tell. We find it, and we make it look like a film.
