D&N Studios began as a vision shared by co-owners Dave Deibel and Carson Nordgaard, who initially spearheaded D&N Cinematics in Bismarck, ND. Their passion for innovative storytelling led them to explore virtual production, inspiring the launch of D&N Studios in Minneapolis to pioneer this technology in the Twin Cities. With combined decades of expertise—Dave with 13 years producing diverse video content and Carson with over 20 years as a director of photography and virtual production specialist—the team embraces cutting-edge methods to elevate visual storytelling. Supported by experts like Adam Standon, skilled in virtual production and VFX, and versatile editor Mitchell Dahl, D&N Studios is excited to continue advancing the industry and sharing groundbreaking projects in 2026.
