Media Production
ASA produces 360° media content. We create short media clips that evoke a response; websites that are interactive; social media and live events that are immersed in context; and longer form documentaries that reveal depth.
ASA's non-profit production arm is Groundswell Educational Films. We have a strong reputation for building lasting audience engagement in Groundswell projects, and offer the same public engagement expertise to our clients through Amdur Spitz & Associates.

Webisodes posted regularly through the process helped to build awareness for GOTO2040, and created fun entry points to the website.
