Our customers Nonprofits & government
Nonprofit and government video. Films that move people to act.
We make films for nonprofits, NGOs, tribal councils and public agencies that move people to give, join and act.
How we think about it
Dignity comes first.
A film for a nonprofit or a public agency has one job: to get someone to care enough to act. That might be a donor at a gala, a family deciding whether to enroll, or a lawmaker hearing why water rights matter to a community. We've told these stories for UMOM New Day Centers, New Pathways For Youth, Paradise Valley Mountain Preserve Trust and the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona.
Here's the short version:
- 01
Who we work with
We work with nonprofits, NGOs, foundations, tribal councils and public agencies.
- 02
How we help
We do the research first, then put the story first and protect the people on camera.
- 03
What we make
We make fundraising films, impact stories, PSAs, public education films and docuseries.

Where it plays
The films play at galas, in donor emails and grant reports, in front of lawmakers and across social.
People share their stories on their own terms, so we plan interviews around their comfort, not our shot list. Budgets have to stretch, too. One shoot should feed the gala, the donor email, the grant report, the briefing with lawmakers and a month of social posts, so we plan those cuts before we roll. And because a moving story isn't enough on its own, every film ends with a clear next step: give, volunteer, sign up, vote or show up. Here are a few of the stories we've told:

Case studies
How a few projects went.
We wrote up a few projects from start to finish, with the numbers around them:
-
Education
ITCA WIC: Dear Mom
Tribal mothers speak straight to other mothers, so families trust WIC enough to enroll.
-
Awareness
ITCA TEC: Vaccine education
Tribal health leaders explain vaccines to their own communities, in their own words.
Questions
What people usually ask us.
These two questions come up in almost every first call:
Can a nonprofit afford you?
Projects start around $1,000, and we scope to the budget you have. Tell us the goal and the number, and we'll tell you straight what it buys.
Do you work with public agencies and tribal councils?
Yes. For the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona we've made WIC nutrition films, vaccine education for its Tribal Epidemiology Center and Your Voice, Your Power, a 10-part docuseries on tribal voting.
