Bonza Media was founded in 2009 with one goal in mind: to create compelling motion pictures.
With a few years of success under our belts, we decided it was time to incorporate in 2012
2014 was a year of refocusing. Instead of producing any type of video work that came our way - we decided to focus on what we felt was our strong suit: narrative content. Telling entertaining stories that convey a message, as opposed to directly documenting the message itself.
In 2019 we reached the milestone of 10 years in business.
Leading up to 2019, we found ourselves in an interesting predicament. We felt we were producing some of the largest projects the film production resources in Rockford could accommodate.
This left us with two choices:
One: we move operations to a larger film market (i.e. Chicago) or, Two: We dig in and build more resources here in our hometown -- clearly, we chose the latter.
More film production resources in Rockford, IL!
In 2020, Josiah (founder of Bonza), partnered with a lifelong friend to build an independent rent-by-the-day film studio in the heart of downtown Rockford. This separate venture exists today as City Stage Studios
Bonza Rentals was also spun off as a film equipment rental house further providing resources for film productions in Rockford.
Today, Bonza operates mainly as a connection to production resources in Northern Illinois. Our goal is to help take your projects to the next level.
We turn ideas into productions.
Consumers automatically associate the quality of your advertising material with the quality of your products or services - this is especially true for commercial video production. Would you make your building signage out of cardboard or print your business cards on napkins? Let us help you convey a positive message with video content that mirrors the quality of your business offerings.
