In a crowded media world, most videos vanish in days. Donors tune out. Policymakers move on. Campaigns blur together.
What breaks through isn’t another program highlight — it’s a story with a face, a voice, and a heartbeat. A story that lingers, sparks empathy, and drives lasting support.

Featured Projects
Messania’s Story
While working with World Vision in tackling the urgent issue of Female Genital Mutilation in East Africa, instead of centering the organization, we proposed a story told through the eyes of an elderly survivor, drawing on her childhood memories.
This character-driven approach struck a deep chord with audiences, earning grand prize at the Oscar-qualifying Rhode Island Film Festival and becoming an official contender for the Academy Award.
The film’s emotional depth and storytelling power opened doors far beyond the screen — with multiple screenings before U.S. Congress and at donor gatherings — ultimately helping raise over $30 million toward efforts to eradicate FGM in East Africa.
A Kids Class About
One of our notable projects was partnering with A Kids Co. — a critically acclaimed children's media company — to create a video series for adolescents (age 10-15) focused on careers, skills, and values. With our team, we developed the series format and collaborated with teachers to shape each classes curriculum, producing over ten hours of content designed for distribution through the A Kids Co. app and in schools, inspiring the next generation of makers, doers, and dreamers.

Our Services
-
Our process begins with deeply immersing ourselves in your mission, working closely with your communications, fundraising, advocacy, and program teams to uncover the human narrative at its heart. By focusing on character, we translate complex challenges into personal, relatable stories that resonate with audiences, spark empathy, and create lasting emotional connections.
-
From development through post-production, we create flagship documentaries that combine cinematic craft with emotional depth. These are films built to inspire empathy, earn credibility, and mobilize action — whether viewed online, at festival screenings, in donor gatherings, or at global summits.
-
A single film is just the beginning. We expand each production into a library of content — social cutdowns, behind-the-scenes stories, cultural highlights, and advocacy reels — tailored to different platforms so your message continues to resonate long after the premiere.
-
Our approach seeks to align content with your organization's short-term and long-term goals. By connecting with your vision, we help create stories that meet current objectives and set the stage for future impact, ensuring your message remains powerful and enduring.
Narrative Process
Every story we craft begins with listening — and ends with impact. Our process is built to uncover truth, shape emotion, and drive measurable change.
Immerse
We step inside your world — studying your work, voice, and vision. Through conversations with your communications, fundraising, advocacy, and program teams, we identify where story can move the needle — and where traditional content has fallen flat.
Unearth
We search for the human heartbeat behind your mission. Working with your teams and field partners, we surface authentic voices whose lived experiences reveal the deeper “why” of your cause. These are the stories that cut through noise.
Shape
This is where creativity meets strategy.
We explore multiple narrative through-lines — different ways your story could unfold — and refine them with you. Clients love this phase because it gives options, clarity, and ownership over direction.
Build
Once the story path is chosen, we bring it to life.
From development through post, we craft documentary films with cinematic depth and emotional truth — always grounded in your mission and aligned with your organizational goals.
Amplify
The film becomes the anchor for a larger campaign. We expand it into social cutdowns, behind-the-scenes stories, advocacy reels, and more — ensuring the story lives far beyond its premiere and continues to spark empathy, awareness, and action.
It begins with an idea
An invitation to engage
To spark empathy
Inspire connection
And create lasting change
It’s not just content
It’s a chance to leave a mark
So, make it stand out
Dream it. Make it.
We believe in the power of
story to change the world.
