Where Old-World Craft Meets Modern Media

ABOUT McCOSH FILMS
McCosh Films is a storytelling and communications company focused on the human experience. We create original media and facilitated dialogue that ask real questions, resist easy answers, and invite people into deeper engagement with the world around them. Our work is built on attention, restraint, and respect for complexity. We don’t chase trends or manufacture moments. We create space for stories and conversations that unfold and linger, work that trusts the audience and stays with them long after it ends.
Our story
The name McCosh honors Founding President Jason Hensley’s grandmother, Mildred McCosh. The McCosh family came to America as Scottish immigrants, farmers, musicians, and blacksmiths whose lives were shaped by discipline, faith, and craft. They believed good work was done carefully, honestly, and with pride in the details. That sensibility continues to guide how we work today.
How We Approach the Work
We believe stories matter because they shape how people see themselves and one another. Whether through short digital clips, long-form conversation, or live facilitation, our work is grounded in truth and guided by judgment earned over time. We don’t simplify the human experience—we take it seriously. Our projects are cinematic, honest without being performative, and intentional without being precious. We are less interested in volume than in impact, and less concerned with reach than with resonance.
What Sets Us Apart
Most content is built to be consumed quickly and forgotten just as fast. Our work is built differently. We tell stories that ask something of the audience—to listen more carefully, to sit with discomfort, to recognize themselves in others. We create experiences that move people not through spectacle, but through clarity, humanity, and trust. This isn’t content designed to distract. It’s work designed to matter.
Leadership
Jason Hensley is a journalist, documentary filmmaker, and podcast host with more than three decades of experience telling real human stories. His work spans television, film, digital media, and long-form conversation, with a career shaped by listening carefully, asking better questions, and understanding how stories function in real communities. Beyond media, Jason’s work is driven by a belief that conversation, when guided thoughtfully, can restore connection in a fragmented world. That belief sits at the center of everything McCosh Films creates.
We believe good work begins with paying attention—and that the most powerful stories are the ones that bring people back into conversation with one another.
