Introducing Fram Studio Company
What does Fram Studio Co do? We specialize in outdoor media production, working with outdoor and lifestyle brands, conservation groups, and tourism boards to tell stories that matter. Fram often works as small, nimble, and modular teams, helping brands create branded short form stories, branded documentaries, social campaigns, product launch campaigns, and more. This team format mirrors one of Roald Amundsen, of whom led the South Pole Expedition onboard the Fram. He organized a small group of specialists for this attempt, a handful of which were the first to successfully reached the pole on December 14th, 1911. He successful employed this method on his other expeditions as well, being the first to traverse the Northwest Passage onboard the Gjoa in 1906, and being the first to fly over the North Pole onboard the airship The Norge in 1926. We integrate with your team from concept to launch, providing everything from pre-production planning, to cinematography, to post production. The flexibility of a small team allows for scaling to match your project needs and budget.

Introducing Fram Studio Company
Here we are built on the belief that stories should be earned. Trading truth for trend, we find the strongest stories lie at the intersection of science, history, and experience. We love to feel the moment firsthand, not relying on a translation to show how our subject felt. We draw our inspiration from early explorers – those who ventured into the unknown on the quest for knowledge and advancement. Their expeditions were not just feats of endurance, but they tested new theories, explored new domains, and pushed human grit to the limits. Throughout it all, photographers and filmmakers were right alongside, experiencing it all to document history.
Why Fram? Fram, pronounced “Frahm”, is named after an early polar sailing vessel. Fram, meaning “Forward” in Norwegian, was commissioned by Norwegian polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen and brought into service in 1892. Nansen wanted to test a bold theory with it. While on his expedition to be the first to cross Greenland in 1882, Nansen noted driftwood and earth from Siberia in the ice. He theorized, alongside the meteorologist Henrik Mohn, that there was an East-West current over the Arctic Ocean. With North Pole ambitions, he dreamed of using this current to purposely get frozen into the ice and drift with the pack ice. At the time, this was ludicrous. Almost all ships that got stuck in the ice were crushed, many with horrific consequences for their crews. The Fram however, was engineered to withstand these pressures and almost “float” on top of the ice. It took a well known problem and approached it differently. While the first Fram expedition did not succeed in getting to the North Pole, their proved theory of the oceanic currents was of immense scientific value. Later, the Fram was used by Roald Amundsen and his team to be the first to reach the South Pole in 1911 (pictured).
History is not just a backdrop, it’s a compass. It reminds us that discovery, responsibility, and storytelling move us forward.

Homeward Bound.
The racing season kicks off this weekend with the . Toting the longest dogsled race in the lower 48, teams race all along Minnesota’s north shore of Lake Superior, starting near Duluth and ending in Grand Portage. Over 7 years ago this race piqued my interest in mushing here in the Midwest. We are blessed to have such an interesting race here in our own back yards, and teams from all across the US and Canada come to town to race. Looking back 7 years ago, it’s crazy to see the incredible opportunities that this sport has given me. From volunteering and shooting for the local races here in Minnesota, to making our first film in Ely, to heading up to be a videographer for the Iditarod in Alaska, I’m glad to be a small fraction of the community, even if it’s just by proxy.
