Based in Joplin, Missouri, we produce commercials, social reels, training videos, documentaries, and brand films for organizations across Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas — wherever your story needs to travel.

A region, not just a city.
A region, not just a city.
The Four States isn't a marketing term for us — it's where we live and work. Joplin sits at the crossroads of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, and so does our client list. Whether you're a school in southeast Kansas, a nonprofit in northwest Arkansas, a business in northeast Oklahoma, or an organization right here in Missouri, you don't need to explain your market to us. We already know it.
That local familiarity shows up in the work: we understand the audiences, the institutions, and the communities that make this region what it is — and we build every project around that understanding, not a generic template.

Where we work.
Where we work.
While we're based in Joplin, MO, our work regularly takes us across the wider Four States region, including but not limited to:
Missouri: Joplin, Carthage, Webb City, Neosho, and southwest Missouri
Kansas: Pittsburg and the southeast Kansas region
Oklahoma: Miami, Vinita, and northeast Oklahoma
Arkansas: Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville and northwest Arkansas
If your organization is anywhere in this region — or even just outside it — reach out. Most of our work happens on location, so distance is rarely the obstacle people assume it is.

"We partnered with Shadow + Light Creative to produce a tribute video for an award recipient at our organization's Annual Meeting. From concept development to location scouting, Aaron's attention to detail was impressive. I especially appreciated his flexibility as we coordinated interviews with participants from the across the state. Aaron was communicative every step of the way and delivered a wonderful final product that had our audience laughing and even teary-eyed at times. I'd be happy to work with Shadow + Light again in the future!"

"We worked with Aaron on a large storytelling project that required many moving parts and coordination across multiple communities. Aaron was at the helm of the project and communicated clearly with everyone involved. He listened carefully to our vision and helped bring it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. The level of effort and excellence went above and beyond. The final product was a film that encouraged our church toward generosity, and the impact within our local community has been incredible. Shadow + Light Creative played a significant role not just in making a video, but in telling a story that moved people toward action."
