What Makes Us Unique

Unparalleled quality and creative vision.

Team: motivated, tight-knit, organized.

Alaska based, international reach.

We have over twenty years of award-winning video and audio production experience. We work on feature-length films, documentaries, TV shows, national and regional corporate branding campaigns, broadcast TV and radio commercials, music, audiobooks—in short: if you can dream it, we can do it.

Founded in 2009 by Rich Cooper, Frostline works with some of Alaska’s biggest advertising agencies, as well as national and international clients like the BBC, HBO, Fox Animation, and National Geographic.

Our clients love working with us, whether they are in the studio here in Anchorage, or directing a session via remote phone patch from LA, New York, or London.

Our shoots take us as far north as Utqiagvik, as far south as Ketchikan (and the Lower 48), as well as everywhere in between.

When not travelling, you can find us at our studio in Anchorage, Alaska. Our 5800 square foot facility has multiple top-of-the-line edit suites, a cyc wall, and a full-service sound studio equipped to record and mix your project for Dolby Atmos.

We would love to hear your story!
