Who we are

Born in Durango. Raised on Stoyrtelling. Built for impact.

Black Bear Video was founded by Matthew McLaughlin, a Durango native who grew up chasing light, angles, and stories with whatever cameras he could get his paws on. From backyard short films to late-night edits, his early experiments laid the groundwork for a shared passion that never let go. Today, he brings that same energy to every project—whether it’s a roaring event recap, a product film that marks territory, or a brand story that sticks.

At Black Bear Video, we don’t just shoot - we shape stories that move. connect, and claim space. And we’re proud to do it from the place that raised us.
