Two young and industrious sisters launched Stellar Image Studios in 2018 to serve the growing need for video. What a wild (and hugely successful) ride it has been!
Since then, SIS has continued to grow and gain recognition. Today, SIS serves a prestigious (and growing) roster of clients across the full spectrum of business and industry.
The SIS Secret to Success: deliver superior video content, with an unwavering devotion to customer satisfaction. That principle has never changed. Just ask our many clients.

Media Manager
Candace Bruce
As a Kansas City native, Candace loves all things KC, so SIS was the perfect match right from the beginning! Having a love of storytelling – watching, listening, and reading – she is able to make her own stories engaging. This love started when she would visit the local library with her grandmother as a little girl and it’s never gone away. And with an ear for music, she has a playlist for every story, both on and off screen. When Candace isn’t working, you can find her enjoying a book at a local coffee shop, buying another plant, or visiting the newest exhibit at the Nelson.
