Informative videos people want to watch.
We believe municipal videos can do more than just communicate. They can change habits, build connection, and reshape how people see their community.
Distill Media has created over 200 videos for local governments—helping them communicate complex services, celebrate teams, and inform the public with clarity. Today, government video production has been our core focus.
In 2024, we developed the concept for a docuseries focusing on municipal workers, giving audiences a behind the scenes look at what it takes to keep a city operational. That docuseries, City at Work, earned a Gold from the Hermes Creative Awards and continues to grow its online reach with over 41,000 YouTube views.
