SCOTT BARBER

Scott Barber Film is a one-stop shop for video production: from concept to final cut. We cover a wide range of client needs, working with folks throughout Vermont, New England and traveling across the country (and sometimes the world) to tell meaningful stories.

Right now, some of our favorite collaborations include the Natural Selection Tour and the Vermont Grass Farmers Association (VGFA). Working with VGFA has been especially rewarding because their mission to promote regenerative, grass-fed farming directly benefits our communities here in Vermont. The work these farmers do improves soil health, supports cleaner waterways, raises healthier livestock, and ultimately nourishes the people who live here. It’s the kind of impact that goes far beyond the farm; mindful farming that’s good for the animals, the land, and the planet as a whole. Getting to help tell those stories feels like a genuine contribution to something bigger.

With the Natural Selection Tour, we provide producing, directing, camera operation and editing on branded content with world-class partners like Yeti, Mammut, A New Earth Project, Arc’teryx and more: capturing some of the best athletes in remote mountain environments around the world.

Every year, we’re grateful to work with long-standing clients like these while also welcoming new ones that bring fresh ideas and healthy challenges to the mix.

Nearly 20 years in Production

Scott has been working in production for nearly 20 years, but it all started back in 2005 when he went on safari in Tanzania with a JVC camcorder. That trip flipped a switch. Filming went from a hobby mixed in with snowboarding and mountain biking to something Scott realized could be utilized to tell stories around the globe.

Scott went on to study filmmaking at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont, where he learned the craft from the ground up. His senior year film Small World made it into the Lewiston Auburn Film Festival, a milestone that helped confirm this was the right path.

Since then, Scott has built a successful career as a freelance filmmaker and founded Scott Barber Film, based just outside Burlington, Vermont. Over the years, he has directed and shot everything from full-length mini-series and documentaries to action sports films and branded campaigns.

A camera has taken Scott all over the world; from the X Games, Dew Tour, and Natural Selection Tour to Europe, New Zealand, and even Mount Everest Base Camp, where Scott spent five weeks filming the expedition project Sharing Everest.

Production Tools

Scott Barber Film works with high-end cinema gear (RED and Sony systems), but the heart of what we do goes far beyond the equipment. It’s about finding the emotion in the story, the feeling of a place, and the authenticity of the people involved.

We love working on outdoor and travel projects, but ultimately, we are drawn to anything that tells a real story; something that connects, inspires, and reminds people why our world is worth caring for and exploring.
