Most organizational videos end up as a cinematic PowerPoint. That's why nobody remembers them.

We build every film around one real story, told by the people who lived it. That's the part people remember.

How we work

How we work

Every film we make has three things in it: story, beauty and humanity.

Every film we make has three things in it: story, beauty and humanity.

We don't do boring. That's the floor, not the goal. The goal is the moment a donor, a member or a future patient decides you're worth caring about.

Find it

Most of our work happens before a camera comes out. We research, scout and interview until we've found the one real person and the one moment the film is about.

Protect it

Every round of feedback wants to add something, and that's how good stories get buried. We keep the person at the centre, and we'll help you hold that line inside your organization too.

Film it

By the time we shoot, we know exactly what the film is. The days run calm, the people on camera feel looked after, and one shoot gives you the main film plus footage you'll use all year.

What We Make
What We Make

•

Story Films

One person, one turning point, told well. A patient, a physician, a donor, a member. The kind of film that makes someone who's never heard of you understand why you exist.

Story Films

•

Gala and Event Films

The film that plays before the ask. We build it around a real story so the room is ready to give, then cover the night so you have something to thank people with the next morning.

Gala and Event Films

•

Campaign Films

A campaign needs more than one video. We plan the story across the whole thing: the launch film, the stories that keep it moving, and the cuts for every channel you're using.

Campaign Films

•

Ongoing Story Partnership

For organizations with more stories than time. We plan the year with you, shoot on a steady rhythm, and keep a library of footage your team can pull from whenever they need it.

Questions we get a lot

What kinds of organizations do you work with?
icon

Mostly foundations, associations, colleges and health organizations: places where the work matters and the story deserves better than a corporate video. We still work with companies too, when there's a real story to tell.

Why start with a story instead of our key messages?
icon

Because people remember people. Your message still gets in, it's just carried by someone your audience cares about instead of sitting on a slide. We aim for about 90% story and 10% message, and that 10% lands harder because of the 90%.

What does "find it" actually look like?
icon

Conversations. We talk with you, then with the people who might be in the film, and we ask the questions that get past the rehearsed answer. Sometimes the story you came in with is the one. Often it's the one next to it.

We have a lot of people who need to approve this. Is that a problem?
icon

No, it's normal. We agree on the story, the person and the one thing the audience should walk away with before we shoot, and everyone signs off on that. When feedback comes in later, that's what we check it against.

How long does a project take?
icon

Most story films take six to ten weeks from the first conversation to delivery. Gala films work backwards from the event date, so the earlier we start, the better the story we can find.

How much does it cost?
icon

Most projects land between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on how many stories, how many shoot days and what you need at the end. Ongoing programs and campaign films run higher. After our first conversation you'll get two clear options with pricing.

Where do you work?
icon

We're based in New Westminster and work across BC and Alberta.
