Orange Frame Productions was founded in 2015 after Jeff Boedeker and Nicholas Donnelly worked together at National Geographic and assigned as a producer and cinematographer team.

We produce content for tv and streaming, immersive media experiences, and museum exhibits. We push for new and innovative ways of storytelling while drawing from years of producing media content for top level tv companies, museums, and cultural institutions.

Our innate drive to explore produces hyper-cool new forms of media born from people that value and blend authenticity, story, art and design. In the end, it’s our goal to continue to advance nonfiction content by producing projects that are relevant, meaningful, and lasting.

Our team leaders have produced content for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Science Channel, PBS, History Channel, the Smithsonian, large format museum theater films, immersive theaters, and other nontraditional formats.
