About RetroMotion.

Justin Bunnell

Creative Director & Story Architect

Justin Bunnell is a filmmaker, creative director, and founder of RetroMotion Creative, a Vermont-based production studio specializing in cinematic storytelling for brands that want to connect through emotion — not just marketing.

Drawing from his background in film and his family’s entrepreneurial legacy, Justin built RetroMotion on a simple idea: that great media should move people, not just reach them. His approach blends strategic brand insight with cinematic craftsmanship — creating films, campaigns, and brand experiences that inspire trust, curiosity, and action.

Beyond his work at RetroMotion, Justin is also the founder of Venetian Beverages and The Venetian Soda Lounge, where he applies the same storytelling philosophy to hospitality and brand experience design. He is also the creator of Expedition Letters, a serialized storytelling project that merges narrative, design, and mixology into immersive adventure tales.

At his core, Justin believes every story deserves to be told beautifully — and that the right story, told the right way, can change everything for a brand.

We specialize in creative production & storytelling that does more than inspire—it drives action and delivers measurable results. Our experience spans a wide array of industries, providing every project with a strategic, results-oriented approach tailored to elevate brand awareness and sales.

I am dedicated to delivering impactful storytelling that enhances your brand's growth. Every project is crafted to combine your unique value proposition with engaging, authentic content designed to resonate deeply with your audience and fuel your business goals.

Philosophy

At RetroMotion Creative, we believe that every piece of content should not only meet cinematic standards but also drive real, measurable results. We understand that effective media must contribute to your brand’s strategic goals, whether it’s increasing sales, amplifying brand awareness, or shaping consumer perception. Our goal is to create media that clients value as a critical asset—enhancing brand visibility, boosting engagement, and strengthening brand value in a meaningful way.

Process 

Our approach to every project is akin to crafting a cinematic masterpiece, with your brand as the star of its own story and its unique, world-changing ethos as the hero. By structuring your brand’s message with a compelling beginning, middle, and end, we ensure that every story we tell is as impactful as it is complete. We treat your brand’s narrative with the depth and care it deserves, delivering a final product that’s more than just a video—it’s a powerful storytelling tool strategically aligned with your mission and designed to drive meaningful results.

Style

Our storytelling style is best described as cinematic, dramatic, and moving. We believe in creating content that not only aligns with but also elevates your brand's existing style and approach. By deeply understanding each brand's unique characteristics, we tailor our approach to add new dimensions to your narrative. This flexibility allows us to adapt to various brand aesthetics and narratives, ensuring that every project we undertake is not only consistent with your brand's identity but also enhances it in meaningful ways.
