About StormStock
When he was twelve, filmmaker and StormStock founder Martin Lisius would stand at the kitchen window of his Texas home, Kodak Rangefinder in hand, waiting for the sky to put on a show. In a place where lightning often obliges, that childhood fascination turned into a lifelong passion.
Over time, that passion evolved into StormStock—an acclaimed collection of weather and climate footage trusted by filmmakers worldwide. Today, StormStock’s sweeping, cinematic storm imagery appears in films and documentaries across the globe, capturing the sky at its most powerful, honest, and awe-inspiring.
