WHISKEY BEAR IS A CREATIVE PRODUCTION STUDIO THAT BREAKS BOUNDARIES THROUGH NON-TRADITIONAL & UNIQUE STORYTELLING
Whiskey Bear is a collective of storytellers — a tight-knit community of passionate creatives dedicated to bringing vision and craft to every frame. Founded by Ben J. Murphy and led by Head of Production Michael Tamburrino, we represent a diverse roster of directors united by their pursuit of bold ideas, striking visuals, and authentic storytelling.
We believe in the power of collaboration and the art of making something unforgettable. From commercials to experiential campaigns, every project we take on is guided by our commitment to excellence and innovation. Our directors push boundaries, creating work that resonates and leaves a lasting impact across an ever-evolving media landscape.
Our approach is hands-on and personal — we invest deeply in every partnership, ensuring that each production benefits from our collective expertise and meticulous attention to detail. Whether working on large-scale campaigns or agile, fast-turnaround projects, we bring the same level of artistry, enthusiasm, and care to every project.
Whiskey Bear is proud to call Los Angeles home, but our creative reach is global. We collaborate with the world’s most respected brands and agencies, building lasting relationships and a body of work that reflects our passion and vision. We’re more than a production company — we’re a family of innovators, dreamers, and doers, driven by the desire to tell stories that matter.
