A great brand film is the most credible marketing asset you\'ll ever make. We treat them like films, not commercials.

What We Make

Six documentary formats.

  • Founder Profiles

    Story-driven founder and team profiles for brand-building, recruiting, or investor materials. Real interviews, real insight, cinematic delivery.

  • Customer Journey Films

    Documentary-style customer stories — from problem to solution to outcome. The most credible form of testimonial.

  • Case Study Documentaries

    Long-form case studies that show the work, the results, and the people behind both. For sales enablement and credibility content.

  • Brand Films

    Brand-building films that establish identity and emotional connection. Used for fundraising, recruiting, and category-defining marketing.

  • Behind-the-Scenes Content

    How-it's-made content for manufacturers, makers, and craft businesses. Documentary-style access that builds authority and authenticity.

  • Editorial Editing

    Story-first editing approach. Pacing, narrative arc, music supervision, and color grading that elevates raw footage to broadcast-quality storytelling.

FAQ

Documentary questions.

What's the difference between a brand film and a TV commercial?

TV commercials sell a product or offer in 15–60 seconds. Brand films build identity, story, and emotional connection over 3–10+ minutes. Different length, different intent, different deliverable.

How long does a documentary take?

Standard timeline: 8–16 weeks from concept to final delivery. Includes pre-production research, multi-day shooting, and editorial. Larger projects with multiple subjects can take 4–6 months.

How is this typically used?

Brand websites, conference reels, fundraising decks, recruiting content, and sales enablement. Excellent earned-media potential when story is strong enough.

What's a realistic budget?

Single-subject documentary: $25K–$60K typical. Multi-subject brand films: $60K–$150K+. Wildly variable based on travel, talent, and animation needs.

Do you research and develop the story?

Yes. Pre-production research, subject interviews, and narrative development are part of the engagement. We don't just show up and shoot — we plan the story first.
