goodfocus is a small film production company made from the creative bits of three people (Doug, Daniel and Brooke). It tends to make documentary films, though sometimes works in other forms as well (e.g. sentimentalist paper animation, magical realist fictional narrative and good old-fashioned corporate identity video). When it’s not doing these various things it spends its time reading design blogs, fishing for trout in New England rivers and streams and mucking about in old barns. Interestingly, Doug, Daniel and Brooke like to do these things as well, so it all works out for the best.
