About Structure Films

Structure Films is a zygote-to-apoptosis (soup-to-nuts) cinematic production company, excelling in pre-production, feature film production, and world-class post-production.

We are filmmakers who tell stories about some of the most fascinating and relevant personalities in science, health, nature, and technology. We are passionate about creating gripping, character-driven narratives that aspire to change the world for the better. We recognize that science is the greatest tool for understanding life, the cosmos, and the evidence-based world we inhabit.

Based out of New York & San Francisco, Structure Films was founded by directing duo David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg who met at Stanford University while they were getting their M.F.A.s in Documentary Filmmaking.
