Video that discovers unseen human stories

Mini-documentaries for brands whose real advantage is authenticity and a desire to share something meaningful.

Documentary work for A&E Coffee, TEST Football Academy, and BCC.

What we make

Champion an authentic voice in a world seeking it.

People will give ten minutes to a real story — twenty times what they would give an ad. The trade is that it has to be a real human story, with people, stakes, and something worth fighting for. Get that right and you have a film with a shelf life measured in years.

Mini-documentaries

Three to thirty minutes on the person, place, or process that inspires audiences to engage and align with your brand and story.

Origin & founder stories

The hero’s journey from inciting incident to overcoming, these are the pieces that endear audiences to a brand.

Process & craft films

From raw material to finished product, revealing the intentional craftsmanship involved in bringing a product to market.

Trusted by A&E Coffee

From farm to cup

We brought to light a supply chain A&E’s customers had never seen — traveling the world over to reveal the many souls involved in their single cup of coffee.

How we work

Authentic from the start

We strive to find the story worth telling and free the crew to catch the magic moments nobody scripted.

Research & access

We start by meeting the real people in the story, then finding and defining the arc, and planning the production around the two.

Filming

Observational B-roll and interview shooting over the time the story needs, giving it space to breathe and become.

Edit & release cuts

The long film, a short version, and the clips that carry it on social — all delivered to your specs and requirements.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked before the first call.

More than a comparable-length brand film, because the shooting ratio and time on the ground are higher. The offset is that the material usually yields several additional pieces.

Most land between eight and fifteen minutes, with a two-to-three-minute cut for the site and social. We plan both from the start.

It really depends on the length and breadth of the piece and subject matter. 2-3 months is typical, driven by access and the story’s own timeline more than by our schedule. Seasonal or harvest-dependent subjects can run longer.

Yes, the films that perform are the ones where the brand is present and honest without shoe-horned in. Elevating your brand happens best by elevating others.
