STORY FIRST

We understand that storytelling requires more than just strong visuals, it needs clarity, authenticity, and emotional depth. We start by listening closely to your goals, your audience, and the heart of your story. From there, we help shape a story that’s grounded in purpose, guided by strategy, and designed to resonate. We don’t want to just make content, we want to create meaningful experiences that move people to think, feel, and act.

We work on a wide range of story-driven projects, from short narratives and feature documentaries to branded content and institutional videos. Whether you’re a creative agency, filmmaker, nonprofit, or academic institution, if your project has a strong story at its core, we want to be part of it.

Any stage. We can help you shape the story from the initial brainstorming session, join in during production, or refine the narrative in post. Some clients come to us with just an idea. Others bring us in to rework an edit. We meet you where you are and carry the story from there.

We’re primarily brought on as story producers, helping shape the narrative from the ground up. That includes identifying key themes and emotional beats, developing the character’s journey, scripting a story outline, and generating compelling visual ideas to guide the filming process. We also support production logistics: assembling a trusted team, building out a shooting schedule, and helping ensure the final product is delivered on time.

Yes! We work with professional crews experienced in both run-and-gun, verité-style shooting and scripted setups, including working with actors. Our teams are adaptable, nimble, and ready to travel when needed. We also collaborate with remote teams to keep productions efficient, authentic, and grounded in the story’s needs.

We’re often hired for editing since a lot of the story is constructed at this stage. Our editing service includes shaping a story from raw materials or reworking an existing edit. We also excel at sound design, pacing, rhythm, and visual storytelling. We can provide either a Premiere or Final Cut project file with the final sequence. We work with our collaborators to provide high-end animations, professional color correction, and premium sound mixes when needed.

Absolutely. We’re used to collaborating with directors, producers, cinematographers, and institutional teams. Clear communication and respect for creative vision are central to how we work.

Yes. We use AI tools selectively and ethically, for things like image enhancement and/or generation, archival footage upscaling, placeholder visuals, and voice generation when appropriate. These tools never replace storytelling, they support it.

Every project is unique. We offer flat-rate pricing for defined scopes and day, hourly, or retainer rates for consulting or flexible engagements. Once we understand your needs, we’ll propose a pricing model that fits.
