What is AudPop all about?
AudPop is a community-driven video platform built by filmmakers who understand authentic storytelling for brands. We make getting video at scale affordable and straightforward. We support filmmakers and creators and offer brands access to our diverse creative community, which delivers videos that genuinely connect to their brand’s story and customer base. Basically, we’re a global video production company that not only values filmmakers and creators and wants to jumpstart their careers but also values businesses and their stories. And the great thing is we love doing what we do.
We know what it takes to make a mark in this world and what it’s like to sit on the fringes with incredible stories that need to be told.
Our founder, Paige Williams, started her filmmaking career by directing her first feature film, Mississippi Queen, about her experience growing up gay in the South with a devoutly religious family who ran an ex-gay ministry. Screening at over 100 film festivals and winning multiple festival awards, Williams’ experience of traveling the festival circuit and connecting with distributors and brands made her realize that filmmakers need the festival experience online.
Let’s take a quick behind-the-scenes look at AudPop.
Behind the Scenes with AudPop
AudPop’s Chief Creative Officer, Vivien Vitolo, is a commercial director who just directed her first short narrative film, Five Star Review. Five Star Review will premiere at ScreamFest in Los Angeles in October 2022. Once her film screens in LA and travels the film festival circuit, general audiences everywhere can watch this socio-psychological thriller short film. Below we’ve included two behind-the-scenes photos to get a glimpse at Five Star Review.
In addition to genre films, Vitolo created a digital non-scripted short series, Goodies, an AudPop original. Normally, a filmmaker would ask the worrisome question: “How do we greenlight it, get it into production, and screen it?” That’s why AudPop was created. We give filmmakers like us a chance at film distribution, getting hired for jobs, and generating more stories.

In the two photos above, our very own Monique Efta, a filmmaker by trade and AudPop’s Director of Client Relations got the opportunity to work with AudPop award-winning filmmaker Gabriella Moses on her new film Sin Raíces that showcased at the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF) this past June. We love to support and work with filmmakers, and we’re thrilled about Moses’ success.
AudPop is a platform for videos and films to hit the world without constraints.
One of our primary goals is to find fantastic content from unexpected places and connect those films and makers to opportunities. And we do just that. We’ve awarded over $10M to creators since 2013 and worked with over 500 brand customers, and we’re not planning on stopping. We love connecting creators to brands, so they can tell great stories.
“AudPop has built a global network of video storytellers from towns and communities around the world. Boots on the ground with cameras on their shoulders. I think every business should tap the AudPop network and blow their projects up!” – Lynn Casey, Shine Scout
