Our Work
At Wavecrest Films, we have one mission: to create content that makes a positive social impact. It’s that simple. We consciously seek out brands, organizations and individuals who share our passion for spreading goodness around the globe.
Our speciality is creative, soulful storytelling – great nuggets of content that inspire audiences, move ideas forward and make a positive contribution to the media landscape. There’s enough noise already; we don’t care to add to it. We do, however, care about the messages we’re putting out there, and so we choose our projects carefully.
Whether we’re making films for clients directly, offering production services for foreign clients, or creating original works of our own, we put our heart and soul into all we do, and we love doing it!
LATEST NEWS
Hey, Everybody –
It’s 2025, and so far it’s not been easy. Here in LA, we’re experiencing historical loss and heartbreak as fires burned thousands of homes and acres of beautiful Southern California nature. So much loss, so much grief. We have a rough road ahead…but we are Angelenos – creative, resilient, and community-minded. We’ll get through this, and we’ll be stronger than ever!
Speaking of loss and repair, we are proud to share with you our most recent Mindful Short film, “Broken & Beautiful” , (following “Just Breathe”, “Release”, “Into Light”, and “A Good Day”)
In “Broken & Beautiful”, a woman whose daughter was murdered in a mass shooting finds a way to piece her life back together. Using the Japanese art of Kintsugi as a metaphor for repair, this short documentary offers hope to anyone suffering from loss. It recently won Best in the Festival at the Los Angeles Short Film Festival!
We made this film for people who are having difficulty navigating grief, to show how a mindfulness practice can people once again find beauty in the world after devastating loss. Please share it with folks you know who might be suffering from any sort of loss.
The Mindful Shorts film series has been a labor of love for years, and has reached millions of people around the globe, offering very practical mindfulness tools that can make a huge difference in just a few minutes. The films have been translated so far into French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Hungarian, Czech, and Italian — all for free.
Because we have been giving these away, the only way we can continue on making them is to ask for help — so please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Mindful Shorts series today: https://mindfulshorts.wedid.it/
In other news: Our years of traveling and collecting imagery, objects and whatnot along the way have resulted in some truly unique works of art. Check out our studio on Etsy to see what we’ve been up to, and maybe find a cool gift for someone you love: https://www.etsy.com/shop/WavecrestFilmsStudio
Be well, everyone. And be kind. Let’s all work on being better humans — the planet is demanding it of us.
Warm wishes,
Julie & Josh
