ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2012, Digifé was created to be a leading documentary production company in Chicago. Our goal will always be to produce well-crafted, and creatively driven content for our clients. We are a blend of diverse, talented, and entrepreneurial minds who take pride in the creative storytelling process.
What is Digifé (Di-juh-fay)? The name of the company was inspired by the founder’s first mentor, his father Donnie Seals Sr. Now a retired video production professional, he had a goal of opening a studio that combined his two passions — a digital studio upstairs, and a coffee house below. While he couldn’t make that dream come to life during his tenure, his sons picked up where he left off. A fusion of the words Digital Café, became Digifé.
ABOUT US
We are Digifé. We're a collection of real people that have been creating for years. What started with one freelancer working out of a studio apartment has grown into an award-winning boutique documentary production house in Chicago. What's even more exciting is that our ideas and dreams haven't slowed down. The only difference is now we have the means to achieve them.
