The Team

 
 

Hi, we’re Grace and Cary, the dynamic husband-and-wife duo behind GeoCore Creative, Inc. Fueled by our shared passions for photography, filmmaking, and a deep-rooted love for food, farming, and foraging, we embarked on a journey to merge our creative skills with our personal interests.

What began as GeoCore Films broadened into GeoCore Creative, Inc., where we craft stories that inspire positive change and foster community connections. Our mission is to make the world a better place. We aim to infuse our work with authenticity and a commitment to impactful storytelling.

We believe stories draw audiences in, capture their attention, and provide a platform to introduce fresh ideas and opportunities. We want our audiences not only to remember but also to maintain a lingering connection and feel the emotional tenor in our work.

We are documentary-style, agile filmmakers and photographers. Working in small teams allows us to be less intrusive, flexible, versatile, and efficient. Our goal is to capture authenticity and make people feel comfortable as we strive to uncover the heart of the story.

  • We are a women-owned and minority-owned business.
