People give to people. Let them meet the ones you serve.
A statistic tells a donor how big the need is. A person tells them why it matters. A mission film puts one real story in front of the room at your gala, in your appeal letter and on your website all year.
We have filmed family housing, food banks, social services, disability services, youth programs, churches and community foundations. Everything is planned in a written Blueprint first, so your director and board know the story before a camera comes out.

One story. Three jobs.
Raise more at the event
The film plays before the ask, so the room has already met the family before you ask for the gift.
Explain the mission once
Board members, volunteers and new staff all tell the story the same way because they have all seen it.
Keep it working all year
Appeal letters, social posts, grant applications and the lobby screen. We hand you the plan for each.

Nonprofits video, answered.
Can the film be ready for our gala or campaign?
Yes, if we start early enough. Plan on about twelve weeks from signing to a finished film. We do not do rush work, so tell us the event date on the first call and we will tell you plainly whether it fits.
How do you handle the privacy of the people we serve?
With care, and in writing. The Blueprint names who will be on camera, everyone signs a release, and you approve the final cut before anyone outside your organization sees it. Anyone who would rather not be filmed is not.
Can our board see the plan first?
Yes. The Blueprint is a written document made to be shared: the story, who we interview, what we film and how the film will be used.
What kinds of nonprofit videos do you make?
Mission and brand story films, donor and gala videos, client and family stories, volunteer and staff recruiting videos, and anniversary films.
How much does a nonprofit video cost?
Your Company Story is $14,950: the written Blueprint, a three to four minute film from one shoot day, the Implementation Plan, Launch Week and three check-ins. It is $7,475 to start and $7,475 when you approve the film. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
How much of our time does it take?
About five percent of the work. A 30-minute first call, an hour of discovery, thirty minutes to read and approve the Blueprint, and your people at set times on the shoot day. We plan it, run the day and edit it.
Pricing in full: one project, one number. Comparing companies? Questions to ask any video company.
