Artifact Nonfiction was established in 2001 when documentary filmmaker and video artist David Grabias began collaborating with visionary movie marketers from Sony Pictures Entertainment to create television documentaries that entertained and informed while raising brand awareness.

Over the years he was joined by writer-producer Anne Edgar, creative director Brian Kessler, brand strategist Matt LaBonge and Digital Creative Jared Plummer to form a full-service nonfiction content studio that celebrates the diversity of the human spirit. Today Artifact's filmmakers hail from all over the globe, creating commercials, films and digital media for agencies and brands including TBWA, Anomaly, Deutsch, Bethesda Softworks, Microsoft, and The Walt Disney Company..

Artifact’s directors, cinematographers, editors, and producers are among the most respected in the field, having garnered Academy Awards and nominations, Emmy Awards and nominations, Geminis, and support and awards from scores of film festivals and institutions including the Sundance Film Festival, The Tribeca Film Festival, The Sarasota Film Festival, The California Council for the Humanities, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
