IronWorx Media is a documentary and narrative production company, built around the idea that 

 

IRON SHARPENS IRON

 

IronWorx had its beginning as a one-woman band. Realizing the valuable filmmaking opportunities made available through collaboration, award-winning filmmaker and founder of IronWorx Media Debbie Vu built a quickly-expanding and growing network of local professional filmmakers and video production interns to significantly boost the production quality of IronWorx content and provide real-world on-set experience for those involved.

WE ALL HAVE A STORY TO TELL

 

At IronWorx Media, we want to help you share it with the world.

 

Diversity is our number one value so we strive to ELEVATE the stories of creatives from marginalized populations including creatives of color, femme-identifying and non-binary creatives, and LGBTQIA+ creatives. We educate our creatives in the process of self-producing their own narratives so that they too can become award-winning filmmakers.

 

Now more than ever, these stories are highly sought out and must be shared to the wider audience to build empathy and compassion as well as bring social justice issues to the forefront. 

​​

We are meant to EMPOWER, EMBOLDEN, and EQUIP storytellers with the skills to be heard in the wider societal narrative.​

​

OUR MISSION IS TWO-FOLD

 

First, we specialize in producing high quality content, both DOCUMENTARY and NARRATIVE. Based out of Durham, NC, we want to create work that positively impacts the community. We create promotional documentary-style content for mission-driven small businesses and non-profit organizations. These clients want to share their stories in order to inspire and influence others in a positive way.

​

It’s their passion that makes our job easy!

​

We write, direct, and produce narrative short films and submit them to film festivals, having garnered over 20 awards including best cinematography, best female director, best narrative short film, best actor, best child actress, best original music, best editing, best NC Filmmaker, and 2023 Filmmaker of the Year, among many others.

​

Second, IronWorx Media is made up of a team of professionals and interns who have already honed their skill sets in creating media but also have interests in other facets of production. We create an individualized educational experience in order to get our professionals and interns the experience and content that they need in order to grow. We focus on the entire video production process from writing, producing, interviewing, directing, filming, and editing.

 

Like a flock of birds, we get to our destination faster by flying together rather than on our own. 

 

Recruitment for professionals and interns is on a rolling basis.

​

There are opportunities everywhere; you just have to make them up!

 

Please inquire if you have a project you'd like to produce. We can guide you through the process and support your vision.
