We handle everything from story development through post-production with an obsessive dedication to artistry.

 

 

Filmmaking is based on relationships – with clients, with the subjects of the film, and with crew – and we believe that the best films come from strong collaborations.

We pride ourselves on taking the extra step to have a deep understanding of your organization and mission. We also understand that non-profit budgets are tight and will work with you to produce a video that both speaks to your audience and fits within your budget.  

 

Our Process

Consultation & Story Development

We collaborate with you to relay the messages and goals of your organization through visually and emotionally compelling stories. We do this through research on your organization, discussions with you, and getting your feedback on scripts before any filming takes place. 

Production

As we do with our own films, we take great care with our cinematography and sound. Filmmaking is our passion and we work hard to achieve exceptional quality videos. We will take the time to get the extra shot if it means a better film. We are sensitive to the fact that film crews can be intrusive and we work to make the subjects of the film comfortable.  

 

Editing & Post-Production

It’s in editing that the story takes shape and comes to life. We send you cuts of the film, and then revise and tweak the edits based on your feedback and our sense of what works narratively. We will never be fully satisfied with a story until you are.
