Our Mission:
We produce meaningful & cinematic work, for brands we love and believe in.
House of Kodo is the creative heartbeat for hundreds of brands and organizations around the world.
In 2018, Drew and Bruce met on a film set, and discovered they both hailed from the same samurai clan (hence the logo; the shared family crest). House of Kodo was formed when the two decided to join their experiences and resources to pioneer new ways to approach film and business.
Drew’s background is in finance, business, and private equity, making him the perfect CFO and Project Manager. After decade long career in the commercial / documentary industry, Bruce found success in the narrative world, and is slated to direct his first feature film in Fall 2026. In 2025, Jade stepped up to the plate to become the company’s Director of Operations, from her background in architecture and fine arts.
Under our roof, we work with a small, core team of creatives on every project, with an emphasis on culture and community. Going into the new year and beyond, we’re so excited for what the future holds.
