Ajax Creative

Ajax Creative We create unforgettable & moving visual experiences for humans. We are in the motion picture business. We create moving images that are anti-neutral. As do we.

After experiencing
an Ajax film, commercial, or video, you will - and you must - feel
something deeper. VISION: AN EMPIRE OF MOVING IMAGES. To be moved is to experience emotions. We want to move people with epic scenes and beautiful moments. We are not afraid to feel afraid; overcoming fear is the only way to truly be brave. We want to inspire others to embrace their deepest and most primal gut fe

elings, to push them toward the greatness within. Be not afraid of your emotions. Exist within them; experience your humanity in this moment. We are the Trojan Horse of emotion for all of our partners, identifying and transporting the perfect feelings into each and every moving image we create. We stand triumphantly together. We dare to use the power of emotion to visualize the endless possibilities. MISSION: TO CREATE MOVING IMAGES FOR HUMANS. Once we establish our empire, all motion pictures will be moving images. They will be made for humans by humans. Cold, emotionless videos will be eradicated and trampled upon as if they never existed. People will feel as if they are part of something worthwhile. We will create emotional compulsion, moving people to action as they are fuelled by the feelings we instilled. We create moving images for humans. At our core as humans, our actions are governed by our emotions. Regardless of what our titles may say or what we might tell ourselves, we are deeply emotional beings who first feel, then rationalize these emotions with complex thoughts. Let’s make the message easy to grasp, memorable, and stunningly beautiful. Viewers trust us with their most precious of gifts: their attention. We show our thanks by entertaining and inspiring them with our films and commercials. And then, we make them feel something even deeper. Ajax creates unforgettable and moving visual experiences for humans.

We were on the last day of production when the temperature dropped 20 degrees overnight. Then it started to snow.

Our continuity was about to fall apart. But instead of fighting it, we leaned in. The snow became a transition - a shift in tone that elevated the entire ending. What could've been our biggest nightmare turned into the most beautiful accident of the shoot.

Sometimes the best moments are the ones you never planned for.

Three days before filming, we lost our location. School pulled the permit- cast and crew already booked.

Then Luke, a farmer with a bulldozer, offered to dig 400 feet of WW1 trenches in four hours. He did it in three.

72 hours later: 800 sandbags filled by hand, an 8-foot bunker built from dead trees and mud, and a battlefield. We shot 80% at night, squeezed a fight sequence into some very tight blue hour scenes, and dealt with unexpected snow that changed the entire ending.

Real squibs. Practical explosions. Blistered hands. Frozen nights. This is what it took.

Behind the Trenches - see what it takes to build a WW1 battlefield from scratch.

Watch our crew dig 400 feet of trenches with a bulldozer, fill 800 sandbags by hand, construct an 8-foot bunker from dead trees, and light an entire muddy battlefield for night shoots. From pyrotechnics and squib hits to stunt choreography in a 30-minute blue hour window- this is filmmaking at its rawest.

As of today, 10 years of Ajax Creative. Hard to believe.

It started with two Jareds, born in the same city in the same month, but walking entirely different roads. One a dreamer, the other a risk taker. Eventually, those paths collided in 2016.

The early days were scrappy - music videos, real estate tours, local festivals, whatever kept the lights on. But every project was a lesson. Every shoot made us sharper. Then the work got bigger, better. We went from shooting in our hometown to capturing stories across the globe.

What we’ve realized over these ten years is that greatness isn’t some finish line you cross. It’s in the risks you take every day. The late nights you push through. The belief that your next project needs to be better than the last.

We’ve learned that your best work comes when you stop playing it safe. That the right team matters more than the biggest budget. That growth isn’t comfortable - it’s supposed to challenge you.

To all our creatives, clients and partners who’ve been part of this journey - you know who you are. This decade is as much yours as it is ours.

To year 10 - let’s get bolder and braver.
