About Us
Believers First, Filmmakers Second
We founded Kolstad Media on a simple conviction: the Church deserves the same creative excellence the marketplace enjoys.
Our Mission
Amplifying Meaningful Missions Through World-Class Storytelling
Kolstad Media partners with faith-based organizations to craft cinematic films that inspire generosity, launch campaigns, and share the Gospel with clarity and beauty.
We exist because we've seen the gap between the quality of work the marketplace creates and the quality of media the Church settles for. We believe that gap can close, and we're here to help close it.
Faith-Driven
Every project is rooted in prayer and purpose. We don't just capture footage. We steward the stories God is writing in your community.
Creative Excellence
We believe Kingdom work deserves the highest standard. That means cinema-grade production, intentional storytelling, and relentless attention to detail.
Relational Process
We treat your story like ministry. That means pastoring your team through the process, respecting the weight of each story, and earning trust before we roll cameras.
Our Team
The People You Will Actually Work With
A small team that is growing fast, and the same faces from your first call through final delivery. Nobody hands your project to someone you have never met.
Caleb Kolstad
Founder & CEO
Caleb leads the team and sets direction for every partnership. He started Kolstad Media because stewardship calls the Church to out-craft the marketplace, and for years he kept seeing the opposite.

Maria Kolstad
Client Relations
Maria is who you hear from first and the reason you are never left wondering what happens next. She handles the scheduling and the questions, so there is always a clear answer waiting for you.

Adriana Oprea
Project Manager
Adriana runs the schedule so your team only has to show up and be themselves. She coordinates shoot days, keeps everyone in the loop, and is the reason projects land on the date we gave you.

Nolan Hall
Multimedia Producer
Nolan runs the media partnership side of Kolstad Media, for the missions we work with every month rather than once a year. Short-form video, carousels, and photography that keep you visible all year.

Boyd Anderson
Lead Cinematographer & Editor
Boyd has been shooting and cutting documentary work for more than twenty years. He carries most of our mission films from the first setup through delivery, so whoever films your story also edits it.

Why Organizations Choose Kolstad Media
Pastored, Not Produced
We approach every project with pastoral care. We honor the weight of each story, prepare your team with empathy, and create space for the Spirit to move during filming.
Monday Milestones
Every Monday, you'll receive a clear update on where your project stands. No chasing, no wondering. It's our way of keeping you informed and confident throughout the process.
Dedicated Team
You don't get a freelancer rotation. Every project is assigned a consistent team from kickoff to delivery, so your story is handled with familiarity and care.
