Brand documentary and story films
Documentary-style films built around real people in real environments. No teleprompter, no actors reading your value proposition. The approach is closer to a short doc than a commercial: find the person whose story carries the message, shoot them where they actually work, and cut it so it holds attention.

Who it’s for
What’s included
A pre-interview before anyone books a camera. The story decides the shoot, not the other way round.
Usually a customer, a founder, or someone on the floor. The right subject matters more than the gear.
Working environments, natural light where it serves the piece, minimal disruption.
Structured so the first fifteen seconds earn the next sixty.
How is this different from a testimonial?+
A testimonial is a person saying you’re good. A documentary shows why, through what they actually do. Longer, more work, far more convincing.
How long should a brand documentary be?+
Two to four minutes for most. Longer only if the story earns it — length for its own sake loses people.
Do you write a script?+
Not a word-for-word script. Interview questions and a shot plan, then the story is found in the edit.
