Here to amplify unheard voices.

CHAIYO is an editorial studio focused on creating films that spark empathy. We help people understand each other better through the visual medium of film. Our focus is feature length documentaries, short films, and branded content with a storyteller’s eye and a love of creative collaboration.

CHAIYO “ไชโย” (pronounced chai like the tea, yo like a yoyo) is a Thai victory cry that means Bravo! or Huzzah! It’s the feeling of celebration we want to have with you at the end of a successful film project.

Based in Lancaster, PA with remote workflows that allow us to seamlessly collaborate with global partners.

What We Do

  • We collaborate with you to find the best possible version of the film that will satisfy the client’s vision for the project. Whether it be a short film or an episodic documentary, we elevate your creative direction with our editorial chops to deliver the final film.

  • Thoughtful planning in pre-production evaluates a film to actualize its creative potential. We augment creative concept and budget development, guide timeline development and support the transition from production to post-production, which is our specialty.

Our Commitments

  • Great films are made through the synthesis of creative minds. Our job is to help reveal the director’s vision and bring your film to life in post-production.

  • Being clear is being kind. You can expect open and consistent lines of communication throughout our process as well as smooth hand-offs to other collaborators.

  • Deadlines matter to us. Like your neighborhood postman: rain or shine, we will always deliver your films on time.
