Authenticity. Craftsmanship. Storytelling.

Since 1999, LionHeart FilmWorks has been dedicated to bringing history to life on screen.

A veteran-owned film production company based in Richmond, Virginia, LionHeart FilmWorks is known for its uncompromising authenticity, cinematic storytelling, and deep respect for America’s past.

Specializing in historical and military-related film, television, and museum media, we are celebrated for our dynamic use of reenactment filmmaking — combining historical precision with powerful visual drama.

Our award-winning team has produced a wide range of content for national distribution, broadcast, and museum installation, earning recognition from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, including a 2015 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lighting Direction and Scenic Design.

Founded by director Kevin R. Hershberger, LionHeart FilmWorks has built a reputation for managing complex, large-scale productions with precision and artistry — from hundreds of reenactors and live-action set pieces to special effects, horses, and period weaponry.

Since 1999, our work has been honored by film festivals and industry peers across the United States and abroad — a testament to our enduring mission: to tell the stories that shaped our world with honesty, passion, and cinematic excellence. Look for our recent work now
