Choose your path
Documentary video for nonprofits and businesses, all done for you. Commission a single film when one story needs telling, or reserve production days every month and we carry your story all year from one roadmap. Either way, everything we make is yours.

For the story that needs telling now: a campaign, a donor, a founder, a family. Three sizes, each scoped with you on the call.
Premiere
Everything in the Story Film, plus a crew, photography with behind-the-scenes and promotional stills, and hands-on support for the launch.
Your film arrives with everything it needs to debut well, so the gala, the campaign kickoff, or the grand opening has a centerpiece and the material to keep promoting it afterward.
Removes a premiere that ends when the lights come up.
Story Film
Pre-production, an interview day, a day of b-roll where the story actually happens, and vertical cutdowns for social.
A finished documentary short and the vertical pieces cut from it, ready for your website, your donors, and your feed.
Removes a story everyone inside your organization knows and nobody outside has seen.
Interview Film
One interview, shaped into one finished film.
A client, donor, or beneficiary telling it in their own words, ready for your homepage, a proposal, or the next board meeting.
Removes describing your impact secondhand when the people who lived it could say it better.
Not sure which one fits? Nine questions, about two minutes, and the right film for your story shows up on screen.
When the story needs to keep going, reserve production days and we carry it all year.
All done for you
Four parts, one team, one monthly rate, starting with a one-month Trailhead. Your organization stops producing and starts approving.
Discovery meeting
Before anything is planned or filmed, we sit with the people who live your story and listen.
The Map
A brand audit and content strategy: where your story stands, who it needs to reach, and the roadmap every shoot day points at.
Content production
Scripting, shoot days, and edit days, all planned from the Map and delivered ready for every platform.
Publishing and reporting
We publish on a set cadence, write every caption and hook, and hand you the numbers each month.
All of it done for you. You approve; we carry it.
What you are reserving
You are reserving production days. A roadmap with one goal at the top decides where they go.
Shoot day
One operator, documentary kit, up to six hours on location: interviews, events, donor and customer stories, founder content.
Edit day
A focused day in post, revisions included. One edit day yields three to five finished shorts, or one long-form piece plus two, all joining a library that works for years.
One shoot day for every two edit days, at every size. The days are weighted toward finishing the work.
The story picks the camera
Our kit is cinema grade: full-frame cameras, cinema glass, lighting, aerial coverage. Some stories need every ounce of it.
And gear is a tool. When the truest version of a story is a founder talking into an iPhone between job sites, that is what we shoot on. The right camera is the one that tells the story best.
A monthly size covers what one operator carries in a day. A piece that needs a crew, a full commercial, a scripted spot, is quoted separately. Your days stay yours.
"Communication was great. Jian has a very creative mindset and is very fun to work with. The final product exceeded my expectations by far."
Three sizes
Same system at every size. The size sets your days for the year, and past the Trailhead, every one of them points at a named destination.
Summit
Fit Multiple locations, travel, events, high footage volume.
Every platform covered, a flagship film a year, and a library that carries any launch, gala, or giving season.
Removes being asked what the video budget produced and having no answer.
Milestone
Fit Several programs, product lines, or platforms needing consistent coverage.
A presence on every channel that matters and an audience that knows your story before you ever ask.
Removes a communications director building a campaign alone on top of the job she was hired for.
Waypoint
Fit One location, one main platform, steady presence.
Your strongest platform kept full, your best pieces in front of local audiences, and a library you own.
Removes finished videos sitting in a folder because nobody had time to post them.
See where your story stands today. Ten questions, about three minutes. You get your stage on screen, and we follow up with what it means for your next season.
Take the Storyline assessmentSix months to one destination, or twelve to walk two back to back. Every shoot day already has a job, the price drops when we commit to finishing, and the first month is the most you'll ever pay.
What you keep
Every frame of raw footage, every finished edit, the Map, the roadmap, the scripts. Full ownership, no license fee, no expiration. If you ever walk away, you walk away with all of it, within fourteen days.
Find the paththat fits
One short quiz for each path. Take the one that sounds like you, and we follow up with what your answers mean.
