We're on a mission to thrill and engage audiences through live video.
Our Philosophy
We believe in bringing together the right people at the right time for the job, instead of maintaining a large staff and large overhead. We work in efficient, focused teams made of employees & contractors to get a lot done in a short amount of time. Check out some of our talented producers, directors, designers, shooters, and artists below.
The Back Story
Punch Drunk was founded in 1998 by Jacob Stone, VJ mixing at underground dance parties and shooting video. We took a detour to learn brand design and web development and did some rock tours along the way. Now we sit at the intersection of live video, content creation, broadcast production, directorial and creative.
Who You Are
We work with a huge variety of clients, non-profits, brands, and bands. Below are some of the organizations and artists we’ve been so fortunate to work with and perform alongside.
Who We Are

“Punch Drunk did an incredible job helping us our first year producing Seattle’s oldest festival. We had quite a few last minute changes and almost no time to implement them. Jacob and his crew put in extra time and effort and made it all happen and make it look great. We could not have done it without them!”

"We hired Punch Drunk on the recommendation of an auctioneer. He told us that the integration of live cameras would add fun and excitement. He was right. Jacob Stone took our concept, made sound recommendations, then worked every detail to perfection. He made it look easy! Our audience loved the results and it gave us the exciting change we were looking for!"

“The show went very well and please pass on to [Punch Drunk lead engineer] Brian our praises of how great he was on this project. When pioneering, collaborating with people who are the best at what they do is essential, and Brian is in that category, the best. He was able to see obstacles before we hit them, not after. Looking forward to our next collaboration.”
