OUR STORY
A Creative Company
Built Through Evolution
ARC Studios began in 2009 with a foundation in professional audio and music production. Over the years, that foundation expanded into filmmaking, cinematography, commercial production, and visual storytelling.
Today, ARC Studios brings those disciplines together as a full-service video production company serving brands, businesses, and organizations throughout Louisville, Kentucky and beyond.
Our approach combines the technical precision of professional production with the emotional instinct of storytelling—creating work designed not simply to look polished, but to communicate something meaningful.

MEET THE FOUNDER
A Career Built Across
Sound, Story, and Production
ARC Studios was founded by Jon Mattingly, a filmmaker, cinematographer, audio professional, and creative producer whose career spans more than two decades across music, film, and media production.
Before moving deeper into filmmaking and commercial production, Jon spent years working in professional audio and music production and a decade performing and touring as a musician throughout the East Coast and Midwest. That background shaped an approach to production rooted in timing, emotion, collaboration, and attention to detail.
Today, Jon leads ARC Studios with a hands-on approach—bringing together creative direction, cinematography, professional audio, and post-production to help clients turn ideas into focused, compelling content.
