Our flagship
The Mission Partnership
Most organizations come to us for one film, see what it does, and realize they need this every season, not once a year. The Mission Partnership is built for exactly that. You get a film team for the whole year. We time each film to your giving and campaign calendar. And a strategist keeps every post aimed at growth, not noise.
The value compounds when every film is planned for a real moment in your year and captured with reuse in mind. Instead of restarting from zero for every campaign, your team builds a library of stories that can support giving, invitations, volunteer recruitment, and vision casting.

One commitment. Billing that fits how you actually budget.
Every partnership is a twelve-month commitment. That is how we plan your year and do our best work. Pay annually, quarterly, or monthly, whichever structure fits your budget and approval process.
Your first campaign is guaranteed
Before we shoot your first film, we set a clear goal with you. The goal comes from your own numbers. If the film doesn't clear that bar, we keep working at no extra cost until it does.
And the simpler promise underneath that: if you are ever not proud to put a film in front of your people, you don't pay for that piece. We carry the risk so you can say yes with confidence.
A limited number of partners each season
We take on a limited number of new partner organizations each quarter. Our team is small on purpose, so every mission gets our full attention. When a quarter fills, the next partners go on the calendar for the season after.
There's a calendar reason to move early too. A film built for year-end giving has to be shot, edited, and in your hands weeks before you launch it. Book your year-end film by late summer or it won't be ready when the season hits. The same is true for Easter, fall campaigns, and major drives. The best seasons get planned, not scrambled.

01
Discover
Story & goals
We listen to your vision, clarify the call to action, and map who needs to be in the story.

Before we shoot, you get a real creative brief. We map the story arc, plan the interviews, and build the shot list. Most video teams rush past this part. We do not, and it is why our films land.
03
Produce
Film & edit
We direct, film, and edit, then send a rough cut and revise until you love it.
04
Launch
Rollout support
You get final files plus a launch guide with placement, email prompts, and social captions.
