Operator Solutions on-boarded Jacob and the Poor Bear Stories team for the Alpha 5 Project, a Guiness World Record setting 5-man formation skydive from 38,139 ft. The production value of their media offerings are absolutely top-notch. The cinematography in their films is visually stunning, the writing in their literature is eloquent and engaging, and the overall production quality across all platforms reflects a dedication to excellence. Poor Bear Stories clearly understands the importance of delivering a top-tier product that not only entertains but also elevates the medium through which the story is conveyed. Thank you Poor Bear Stories!

Director of Mission Support
There was only one team that came to mind when we were hiring a production team for our documentary, the first feature film about women in the intelligence community. Our project would not be what it is today without the compassion, creativity, and mentorship that the entire Poor Bear Stories team brings to the table. We could not imagine working with anyone else. Thank you Jacob and the entire Poor Bear Stories family for helping us bring our vision to life!
