Small town values.

Paragon was founded to reinvigorate production with life, heart, and excitement. We infuse Midwestern hospitality, kindness, and collaboration into an industry that can often feel cutthroat and isolating. Every day, we strive to create better content, foster stronger relationships, and produce more impactful videos.

Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. Our commitment to authenticity drives us to explore diverse narratives that resonate, bridging the gap between local stories and global themes. This collaborative approach enhances our creativity and empowers those around us to share their own stories, creating a vibrant tapestry of voices that enriches our work and fosters a sense of belonging.

No two projects are identical, so neither are any two production teams. We collaborate with creatives in the community who bring their own perspectives and expertise, and cultivate an environment that encourages each crew member to take risks and grow.

"Their professionalism is top-notch, evident in every aspect of their work from start to finish. Not only are they truly experts in their craft, but they are also incredibly personable and easy to work with. They have a knack for making clients feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I've worked with many production companies, and I have to say that I've really, really enjoyed working with Paragon. They make the process fun. They consistently deliver exceptional results and are an absolute joy to collaborate with."
