OUR HISTORY

White Buffalo Film Studios has humble but deep roots in the St. Louis community.  As the sister company of Think Tank PR, Marketing + Design, White Buffalo began as an idea in 2010 after Think Tank pitched and created their first video and submitted it for the Doritos Commercial Challenge to win a spot in the Super Bowl commercial lineup in 2009.

From there we began branching out into branded content videos, commercials, film shorts and so much more.

Why White Buffalo? In Native American culture the buffalo is very much a respected part of life. Every part of the buffalo was used to provide Native Americans with food, clothing, shelter and weapons. It was considered disrespectful to waste any part of the buffalo or to kill it for sport.

The Lakota Sioux as well as many other tribes see the birth of a sacred white buffalo as a sign of hope and an indication of good times to come. And, with our philosophy of giving back, we couldn’t think of a more worthy spirit animal.

At White Buffalo we love video production. And when we say love we mean passionate, unadulterated, crazy love. There’s no project too big or too small that we won’t turn our creative juices loose on and come up with something unlike anyone has ever seen.

From film shorts and commercials to branded content videos and documentaries – we love each and every aspect of creating art through video. Seriously, it’s what makes us jump out of bed every morning sans alarm clock!

White Buffalo is passionately committed to giving back to our community, much like our sister company Think Tank. In the spirit of the hope the white buffalo brings, our company donates 15% of all proceeds to local battered women shelters as a way of giving hope to those who need it most.

If you are a local shelter who needs help, please contact us for more information on our White Buffalo Hope program. With your help we can all make a difference to help end domestic violence.
