how we work

the same craft, pointed at what matters.

Mission-driven work still needs to be well made. We plan for the story, the people in front of the camera, and every place the finished film needs to show up.

01

discovery & story

We start by listening: to the people you serve, the outcomes you need to show, and the tone the story calls for, before a single shot is planned.

02

sensitive production

Interviews and b-roll shot with care for the people in front of the camera. Consent and comfort built into how we run a set, not an afterthought.

03

budget-aware scoping

Nonprofit budgets aren't brand budgets. We scope real, tiered options up front so the ask on your side stays clean and defensible.

04

delivery for every channel

Cut down for the gala, the grant report, the social feed, and the donor email, so one shoot does the job of five.

case studies

stories, told with care.

Two documentary-style pieces made for organizations doing work that matters, produced with the same craft as our brand and broadcast work.

good to know

questions answered.

Do you offer nonprofit pricing?

Yes. Nonprofit and cause-driven budgets get real, tiered scoping up front, not a discount bolted onto a brand rate card. We'll walk through what's realistic for your budget on a short call.

How do you handle sensitive or personal stories on camera?

Every interview subject is treated with care: clear consent, time to feel comfortable before the camera rolls, and a producer dedicated to their comfort throughout the shoot, not just the schedule.

Can one shoot become multiple deliverables, like a gala reel, a donor email, and social cuts?

Yes, it's built into the plan from day one. A single production day typically yields a hero documentary cut plus shorter versions for social, email, and event use.

Do we need a full production budget, or can you work with what we have?

We'll scope real options at a few different budget levels rather than pretending one number fits every organization. Tell us what you have and we'll build around it.

How long does a nonprofit documentary or campaign video take?

Most nonprofit documentary shorts run six to ten weeks from kickoff to delivered masters, depending on interview scheduling and how many locations are involved.
