OUR STORY
Physically Awkward Films is an indie award winning production company located in Nashville, TN.
Around here film is not a job, it's a way of life. And now we want to share that love with you.
It started with childhood fun. Stop motion movies made with the family camera, hot wheels, and streets drawn on paper. Now, it's lights, camera, action! We have always refused to limit ourselves here at Physically Awkward Films.
With nine short films and screenings at dozens of film festivals, we have received multiple awards recognizing our work, including becoming the first ever two time recipients of the Tennessee Filmmaker Award at the 2021 and 2025 Chattanooga Film Festival, we’ve amassed over a decade of experience. We’re currently working on a feature film that we will announce in the near future. Film is our love, but helping families, local companies, and individuals realize their dreams is our passion. We began with non-profit work, but we have expanded into corporate video work, weddings, family history videos, and more.

FAMILY STORIES
Family Stories
This all started with a trip to Maine to film my grandmother telling her life story for future generations of the family. We laughed, we cried, and I heard stories about my family that I never heard before. One of which left me so inspired that Austin and I wrote a screenplay about that we hope to turn into a feature film one day. My grandmother passed away almost two years ago now, but I can watch her tell her stories, watch her mannerisms, and will always have a reminder of her presence and her life story. I wish I had done this sooner.
We have filmed several family history videos now and the reactions from the family are priceless. This could serve as a documentary of your family history. Learn how your parents or grandparents met in their own words, here about loved ones long gone, learn about trips, funny memories, and hear their laughs forever. If this is something you are interested in then email us at contact@physicallyawkwardfilms.com and let’s start your family project today!
