About Us

XNMO Productions is a full-service video production company proudly rooted in New York City and Chicago, specializing in cinematic storytelling for events, documentaries, and commercial campaigns. Whether it's a brand film, a community story, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, we bring a grounded, human-centered approach to every frame. We also support clients in optimizing content for social media and marketing campaigns, ensuring your story not only looks good, it reaches the right audiences.  We also craft cinematic wedding content, delivering emotional, story-rich films that honor the moment and the people behind it.  "XNMO" is short for Ex Animo - Latin for "with sincerity." That value is at the heart of everything we do. We believe the best stories are told with intention, empathy, and truth. It also means working with us is an extremely transparent process where you'll be included in every step of the production process.  Founded by SN Attreya, a filmmaker and marketing strategist with 10+ years of experience, XNMO is co-led by his wife, Sania Khan, who oversees production operations with precision and care. In 2024, Ammaar Patel, founder of MarMedia, joined forces with XNMO to lead creative efforts in Chicago. Together, our team now operates with 5 in-house full-frame cameras, over 12 years of combined experience, and a growing footprint in both cities.  In 2025, we made a formal commitment to partner with nonprofits and NGOs to help tell urgent and important stories - especially those uplifting marginalized, diasporic, and underrepresented communities across America. From grassroots efforts to national campaigns, we are using our cameras to amplify the voices that deserve to be seen and heard.  At our core, we're a lean but powerful team driven by story, style, and sincerity.  Let's build something meaningful - together.
