IMAX & Giant-Screen Films
We were pioneers of the IMAX format in 1976 with To Fly!, which still plays at the Smithsonian to this day. Since then, MacGillivray Freeman has made 40 giant-screen films in some of the most exotic, challenging locations on Earth, continuing to push the limits of the giant-screen experience.
We are the world’s leading giant-screen producer and distributor—we’ve won with more awards for creativity and marketing than any other in the industry.

Television
Today’s television viewers demand the type of high-quality content historically relegated to the big screen. We can deliver.
Our latest adventure, America. The Beautiful., which aired on the Travel Channel, takes viewers to some of America’s most beloved National Parks like Yosemite, Canyonlands, Virgin Islands, Crater Lake and Yellowstone in a way that only MacGillivray Freeman can. Audiences will experience these vast and iconic landscapes like never before on television through first-person exploration, adrenaline-pumping adventures and once-in-a-lifetime happenings.
Digital
We integrate connected, digital experiences into everything we do. With cutting-edge cameras at our disposal and a diversified team of new media experts, we create holistic, multi-platform marketing campaigns around each story we tell.
In just one week, our Mission Aquarius campaign generated 500 million media impressions, 300 unique news stories, and saved the world’s last remaining undersea research station.
