Chevy Chase is a community of institutions, clubs, and luxury brands with stories worth filming well. We produce brand films, interviews, and event capture with local crews who know how this neighborhood works.

Chevy Chase does not announce itself. Behind the tree-lined streets of Chevy Chase Village and the Town of Chevy Chase sit organizations and occasions that rarely seek attention but regularly need film: the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, headquartered here on Jones Bridge Road and one of the largest private funders of biomedical research in the country, private clubs with more than a century of history, luxury retailers along Wisconsin Avenue in Friendship Heights, and a social calendar of weddings, galas, and fundraisers held in ballrooms and private gardens.
That mix creates a particular kind of video work. A research leader needs an interview that is clear, credible, and quiet to produce. A club needs an event film that respects its members and its rules. A retailer at The Collection at Chevy Chase needs content that looks like the street it sits on: polished, unhurried, and exact. A family hosting a milestone evening at home needs a crew that captures it beautifully and then disappears into the background.
We are a full video and content production team based in Washington, DC, minutes from Chevy Chase. Brand films, interviews, commercials, social content, and event capture, produced concept through final delivery by one team. Our crews work in this community regularly, and they understand its defining trait: discretion is part of the brief.

Much of our Chevy Chase work is interview and story driven. At and around the Howard Hughes Medical Institute campus on Jones Bridge Road, beside Columbia Country Club, the subjects are scientists and research leaders whose work needs explaining to boards, funders, and the public. We film in offices, homes, and club rooms across Chevy Chase with mobile interview kits that make an ordinary room look intentional, usually within an hour of setup, and we keep footprints small in settings where quiet matters.
Event capture is the second pillar. Weddings and galas at Chevy Chase Club, where events run through member sponsorship and the ballroom hosts as many as 400 guests, call for crews who know club etiquette: where cameras can go, when to stay invisible, and how to work inside the club's load-in windows. Columbia Country Club offers a different backdrop, a championship golf setting in the middle of Chevy Chase, while The Woman's Club of Chevy Chase on Connecticut Avenue hosts weddings, mitzvahs, and community events in a historic clubhouse and garden.
The third pillar is brand and retail content. Along Wisconsin Avenue in Friendship Heights, The Collection at Chevy Chase brings together tenants such as Tiffany & Co., Clyde's of Chevy Chase, Brooks Brothers, and Porsche around a tiered plaza built for community events and activations. Wisconsin Place, anchored by Bloomingdale's and Whole Foods Market, adds a second retail setting a short walk away. Launches, seasonal campaigns, and social content filmed here need to match a luxury standard without turning a working retail street into a film set.
The logistics have their own discipline. Private clubs require member coordination and advance approval for filming. Residential streets in the villages mean quiet sets, careful parking, and respect for Montgomery County's noise ordinance, whose quiet hours begin at 9 p.m. Call times account for Wisconsin Avenue and Connecticut Avenue traffic, with Friendship Heights Metro on the Red Line as the reliable alternative for crew and talent.
Where we shoot: Chevy Chase Club; Columbia Country Club; The Woman's Club of Chevy Chase; The Collection at Chevy Chase and the Wisconsin Avenue corridor in Friendship Heights; Wisconsin Place; private homes and gardens in Chevy Chase Village and the Town of Chevy Chase; the Howard Hughes Medical Institute campus area on Jones Bridge Road.
Most video crews arrive in Chevy Chase as strangers to the neighborhood. We are based in Washington, DC, minutes away across Western Avenue. Our producers and crews know how this community operates: which settings require a member sponsor, which streets cannot absorb a production vehicle, and how to film a black-tie evening without becoming part of it.
That local base also means flexibility. A last-minute interview, a second camera day when a story changes, a pickup shot at The Collection before a launch: we can respond the same week, often the same day, because the team and the gear already live here. And we protect privacy by default. Private homes, unlisted events, and members-only spaces stay that way; footage is handled as confidential unless you tell us otherwise.
We also plan for the second life of everything we shoot. A single interview day in Chevy Chase can yield a flagship film, a set of short profiles, and a library of social cuts, because we design the shot list around the full campaign before the first camera rolls. For clubs, retailers, and research organizations with a year of moments to cover, that planning turns one production day into months of credible content, all consistent in look, sound, and voice.
And because events, video, and marketing sit under one roof at Simple, your footage does not end as a file on a drive. The interview becomes a campaign. The gala film becomes next year's fundraising case. The retail shoot gets cut for every channel it needs to live on, by the same team that shot it.
We deliver what we say we will. We treat your budget, timeline, brand, and reputation with care.
Yes, with the right path in. Both are private clubs, and Chevy Chase Club events must be hosted or sponsored by a current member. Filming is arranged through the club and the sponsoring member, inside the load-in windows and house rules the club sets. We brief every crew member on club etiquette before we arrive, and we keep the production footprint quiet and controlled.
Yes. Club weddings, garden ceremonies at The Woman's Club of Chevy Chase, and estate events at private homes are a regular part of our Chevy Chase calendar. We capture the day with a small, unobtrusive crew, then deliver a feature film, a highlight cut, and social edits from the same footage.
Yes. Our mobile interview kits travel to homes and offices across Chevy Chase Village, the Town of Chevy Chase, and the surrounding sections. We bring lighting, audio, and backdrop options that make a living room or study look deliberate, usually in under an hour of setup, and we schedule around your day so you are on camera for minutes, not hours.
Yes, and Friendship Heights is our home ground for it. We produce launch films, seasonal campaign content, and social cuts for retailers around The Collection at Chevy Chase and Wisconsin Place, working with center management on plaza access, filming windows, and customer flow so the shoot supports the store instead of interrupting it.
Discretion is the default. Crews are briefed on what may and may not be filmed, footage from private homes and member events is treated as confidential, and nothing is published or shared without your approval. If an event is unlisted, it stays unlisted.
Two to four weeks from shoot to final delivery covers most projects. Event films and social cuts move faster when a date demands it, and because our team is based minutes away in Washington, DC, pickup shots and revisions do not wait on anyone's travel schedule.
We needed a Netflix-level crew to film our comedy special, and Simple delivered beyond expectation.
