Annual video partnerships for churches & nonprofits

A film team that plans around your year.

Your giving season, ministry launch, and next invitation deserve time to tell the story well. Through the Mission Partnership, we plan the films together and help your team put them to work throughout the year.

Free 30-minute call. Growth Partner: $12,600 a year. All partnerships are twelve-month commitments.

Give each story a real job.

For a church, that could be an invitation before Easter or a testimony that helps people understand the next step. For a nonprofit, it could be a film for the annual fundraiser, followed by a story showing donors the work they made possible.

We start with those dates and work backward. Your team knows which interviews need to happen and when you’ll review the film. Short versions let you keep sharing the story after the first screening.

A good fit when…

  • You have campaigns or seasons that need a clear story.
  • You can name the person who will coordinate interviews and approvals.
  • You want an ongoing production relationship and can plan an annual budget.

If you only need one film, start there. See mission films from $3,000, including the $4,800 Impact Mission Film for a campaign.
