Two Halskis, one studio. We are Meg and Mark and we share a passion for storytelling and creating engaging, results-driven content. Our services include creative development, production, and post-production through to final delivery of video and photography. We are available for any one aspect of a project, such as shooting or editing, or to handle an entire project from development through to final delivery. Our productions are fun and relaxed and a pleasure for all involved.

Hire a Director and get a Writer completely free. I had the pleasure of working with Halski Studio this summer on a series of videos. None of which would have ever happened had Meg not written an additional creative treatment which took us on a journey to Puerto Caimito. Her enthusiasm for the work is infectious. We need more of her in our industry.Jon HansenCreative Director, Rodgers Townsend

Executive Producer / DP / Editor / PhotographerI am an executive producer, director of photography, editor, still photographer and creative director. I am an accomplished creative professional with three decades of multi-faceted experience in advertising, branding and media production that includes 13 years of running my own production company, Halski Studio, serving ad agencies and clients of all sizes from global brands to local startups.
I love working with creative teams and leading productions. Peers and clients frequently commend my approach as warm, collaborative and profoundly dedicated.
At Halski Studio I’ve created and produced branded videos and photography for clients such as Hydro Flask, Klipsch Audio, and Smoothie King. In addition to branded content, I make original narrative and documentary films with wife and partner at Halski Studio, Meg Halski, who is a writer, director, and executive producer.
Working with Mark has been an amazing experience. His enthusiasm and knowledge of film, light and story building pluses every job, and makes the finished project so much more memorable. As a cinematographer, Mark is highly engaged. He asks the right questions upfront and is always prepared for shoot days. Being on location with Mark is such a blast- even on sub-zero days in Crested Butte, Colorado. Mark is nimble and collaborative on set, and approaches even simple scenes with interesting angles and fluid movement. Mark also excels as an editor. Whether he is given an outline, a script or asked to find the story, he is incredible at shaping the narrative. His edits strike the perfect balance between beauty and humanity, while never overlooking the intended purpose of the films. I can't say enough good things about partnering with the Halskis. They're a team as genuine as they are talented.Kristina DayWriter, Creative Director, NORTH

Halski Studio are gifted creative partners with a rare combination of vision, and know how. I hired Halski Studio to produce our Weissman showcase video in 2013 and have continued to do so every year since. Our work together elevated our brand to heights I never imagined we could attain… Their enthusiasm and willingness to take chances is not only seen in the final product but has a positive influence on our entire team. If you get the chance to work with Halski Studio jump on it. I can’t wait to work with them again!Michael GardnerCreative Director, Weissman Designs for Dance
After hiring countless agencies, Mark and Halski Studio rose to the occasion as a boutique agency that delivers on their commitments and works hard to exceed expectations. Mark’s personal talents as a photographer are iconic. I have now hired Mark at three different organizations, that’s how much I think of Mark and Halski Studio.Seth BurgettEntrepreneur and Board Member, yurbuds Sport Earphones
I can’t express enough how happy we at CEDIA have been with the projects Halski Studio have done for us. Beautifully shot, brilliantly edited, and always completed on-time and well within budget, their work is second to none. There’s another element to what they do, though: The Halski crew has the unique talent to make subjects who aren’t used to on-camera appearances feel at ease. They are as kind and patient as they are professional. Simply put, the process is as stellar as the results when team Halski is involved.Ed WenckContent Director, CEDIA
