ABOUT HIGHWAY MEDIA History It all started in February of 1995 with a desire to bring the good news of Christ to a new and different generation. An important part of connecting and communicating with history's first 'MTV generation,' was video. Armed with an 8mm video camera and late-night access to video editing gear at a major Silicon Valley company, a San Francisco State film student from Pennsylvania and two friends who had moved west with him began making short films every week for a Friday night worship gathering in Los Altos, California, called Highway. Just a year later, in 1996, a $100,000 was donated to launch Highway Productions—a company dedicated to creating original video shorts and films to teach spiritual truth, enhance worship, and magnify God’s voice for a post-modern audience. In 1998, another $100,000 gift made it possible to add two employees and begin a full production schedule. The first 10-segment Video Illustration File was produced and distributed by the end of 1999 (on VHS, baby!). In 2000, an angel investor saved the fledgling company and converted it to a for-profit corporation, Highway Video. As the demand for video and media content increased, Highway Video became an industry leader in the creation and distribution of worship-related video. In 2005, Highway Video became a “virtual company” focused primarily on distribution, until in 2009 changes in the marketplace determined that the for-profit corporation model was not the best direction for the studio. In 2010, Highway Video was donated back to The Highway Community—the ministry where it all started—to be re-launched as a non-profit. Our name is new—Highway Media—but we remain true to the elements of our original vision. We’re excited to return to our roots, and get back to creating content that tells the stories of God and his world, stimulates the conversation of faith, and seeks truth by asking the big questions..
