About Bairn:

Bairn is a multi-disciplinary media studio founded in 2017 headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Bairn goes astray of the trend to develop TV / Digital advertisements to push products or services onto consumers. Instead, Bairn focuses on word of mouth advertisement, and referrals through co-creation of compelling, high-end, narrative-driven original media such as micro-documentaries, documentaries, commercials, film & TV series and experiential events. Our focus is to accurately share people’s culture, history, and present vision to help connect the hearts of audiences and brands through memorable, timeless media.

History:

From humble beginnings as a basement film studio to a home in the entertainment industry today, Bairn proudly continues a legacy of creating world-class stories and touching, memorable experiences for every member of the family across the world. Bairn was founded by Thomas & Evans Nguyen, 2nd generation Vietnamese American immigrants. Their families moved from Vietnam to pursue a better life. Amongst other communities affected by war, their families have experienced the after effects of intolerance, misunderstanding, and indiscriminate conflict. In effort to help shape a brighter world, we believe story-telling can be a powerful method to bridge cultural/personal understanding and inspire positive action.
