About Us

Kapwa Projects is more than a production company—it’s a mindset. Rooted in the Filipino concept of kapwa, meaning “neighbor” or “shared identity,” we believe that great work comes from true collaboration. In everything we do, we move as 50-50 partners, offering a helping hand, pushing each other forward, and making diamonds under pressure.

Founded by Preston Tietjen, Kapwa Projects is built on relationships, friendship, and an unwavering drive to create. Inspired by the music videos and rap culture that shaped him growing up in suburban Philadelphia, Preston brings a relentless work ethic and deep respect for the art, the hustle, and the people who make it happen. Now based in Los Angeles, Kapwa is both an homage to his Filipino roots and a reflection of his own journey—one of grit, love, and pushing boundaries in the production world.

At Kapwa, we believe you can’t be great without the greatness of others. That’s why we champion a culture of respect, creativity, and all-gas-no-brakes execution. Whether we’re producing high-impact music videos, commercials, or narratives, we bring the same energy: KEEP APPLYING PRESSURE WITH AUTHORITY.

This is Kapwa. Built on love. Made for the moment.
