Upriver Productions has been specializing in outdoor TV and media creation since 2009. We know more buzz baits than buzzwords and we'd rather be zooming in on elk than attending zoom meetings but we can do both! We're perfectly happy with our base in the Ozarks of Missouri but we've also worked in forty-three states and eight countries. We can make a video about the next great fish catcher on a shoestring or we can deliver a full season of award winning TV to a network with a million dollar budget.
