Is it time to tell your story?

We have made films all over New Zealand and found that most local businesses have incredible stories worth telling.

→ Stories that would connect with customers on a deeper level.
→ Stories that would build trust in their community.

But we get it. High-end video production has created massive barriers to achieving this for your business.

→ Companies like ours charging $15-20k+ for high-end documentary films.
→ Complicated processes that could drag on for months.
→ Complex equipment setups and large crews that take over your space.

And here's what that has meant:

→ You know video is powerful, but it feels out of reach.
→ Your story remains untold.

A Different Approach

Working on the ground in Nelson, we've found that the magic isn't in expensive equipment or massive production schedules.

→ It's in good storytelling.
→ Documentary moments that share who you are with your customer.

Like when we first filmed Xavier Napoleon…

Instead of a standard marketing video, we captured him chipping away on a handmade leather wallet, talking quietly to the camera, explaining how his products last a lifetime with his traditional techniques.

This video above was the first brand film we ever made as a company!

Our production work has come a long way, but as you can see, a great story lasts longer than a few weeks.

The magic happens when we take away the complexity and focus on what matters most:

→ Your unique story
→ Told with cinematic quality
→ Without a price that breaks the bank.
