Meet Kyra

I'm a filmmaker and storyteller based out of Longmont, Colorado, and I love sharing the beauty of our world and the people in it through video storytelling. I believe every person carries a story worth hearing, and my work begins by listening closely enough that someone feels safe sharing it.

My films connect people's stories to one another and to our larger communities. For more than twenty years, I have helped nonprofits, businesses, and communities share the stories behind their work, from the person whose life a mission has changed to the hands and the care behind a small business.

I also film from the sky with my drone because an aerial view shows how every story belongs to the land around it. In every frame, I try to honor the creeks, the open space, and the foothills of the Front Range that hold our communities together. We are all a part of a greater whole, and I hope through beautiful cinematography, powerful storytelling, and a compassionate lens, you will feel that too.

The work

Three ways I tell stories

Choose a collection to see the films. Every project can include aerial footage that shows how a story sits within its community.

Documentaries

These films sit with people long enough for them to share what matters most, from single heartfelt interviews to stories that unfold over many days.

Commercials

Commercials and brand stories show the people behind a business and the care they put into their work.

Real Estate

The Foothills Film + Footage Library holds aerial footage of Front Range neighborhoods, so agents can show buyers what it feels like to belong to a community.

Stories I have told with

Working with Kyra Coates is one of the real joys of what we do. She has a rare gift of making our clients feel safe and comfortable the moment the camera switches on, which is exactly when people need it most. That ease is what lets the truth of their story come through. And Kyra is a fantastic storyteller. She has full command of the high-tech tools and equipment, but she never lets the gear get in the way of the heart of the work. Everything she produces is top quality, beautifully filmed, thoughtfully produced, and strategically distributed. On top of all of that, she’s joyful, playful, and fun to be around. I love working with her, and I trust her completely with our clients and their stories.
