Every story looks better from above.
Cinematic aerial films that make the world feel briefly, beautifully small.
We turn real moments into sweeping aerial video, captured in 4K from a vantage point nothing at street level can match — drone filming and photography for properties, venues and brands across Los Angeles.
Small studio.
Big perspective.
Above the Story is an independent aerial film studio in Beverly Hills with one specialty: finding the angle that makes a property, a brand, or a landscape unforgettable — and delivering it in cinematic 4K.
Every shoot starts with a real flight plan — airspace checks, shot lists, backup batteries — and ends with a film that's edited, colored and scored with care.
Aerial films for every story
From flagship listings to brand campaigns, we capture the places and stories that matter — from a whole new altitude. Drone video, aerial photography and cinematic footage, all in one flight.
