I've kinda been doing this a while...here's just a few of the movies I've done
You need 4 things to crush a solid promo:
PRE-PRODUCTION
We strategically define where your film will thrive, aligning our approach to ensure it captivates the intended audience and maximizes your exposure.
PRODUCTION
Using Hollywood techniques, we capture your professional essence, ensuring every frame reflects your authority and stature in the industry.
POST PRODUCTION
Our meticulous editing process polishes your content, aligning it perfectly with the strategic goals set out in pre-production to ensure market resonance.
DISTRIBUTION
This integral part of pre-production guides our entire process, focusing on placing your content in optimal venues for maximum visibility and influence, boosting your celebrity status and authority.
How Does The Interview Process Work?
When you apply, we take up to 48 hours to review your application and go over exactly what you're looking for. If you're pre-approved for an interview, we'll arrange a 30 minute conversation over zoom.
What If I'm Not Good On Camera?
No worries! We've collaborated with seasoned professionals and camera-shy clients alike. Our expertise ensures you'll be at ease, present your best self, and ultimately shine like a star in the final documentary.
Do You Hire Talent / Actors For My Film?
Yes, we do hire talent or actors to recreate specific scenes when original footage is unavailable.
These carefully crafted reenactments are designed to elevate the storytelling and production quality of your documentary.
While we strive for authenticity and capturing the real essence of you, your company, or your brand, these recreations are used selectively to enhance the narrative.
This approach is always discussed during pre-production to ensure it aligns perfectly with the integrity and goals of your project.
What If I Want Multiple Shorter Videos?
Our documentaries traditionally adhere to a long-form format, ranging from 10 to over 60 minutes. Based on the length of the documentary, we can create a tailored number of trailers to effectively build anticipation and highlight key moments. This ensures each project is optimally showcased to engage your audience. We will detail these options in our initial planning discussions.
How Do You Handle Music Licensing?
We handle the music licensing and costs in-house, and will be meant for one specific use in your film. Once delivered, we will give you copies of the licensing contracts for your records.
How Long Is The Average Documentary?
Our documentaries typically start at 15 minutes, providing ample time to delve deeply into the narrative. The specific length, however, can vary based on the story's complexity and the objectives of the project. While our shorter documentaries are 15 minutes, more extensive projects can extend up to 90 minutes.
We'll discuss the scope and details during our initial consultation.
What Is The Investment?
It depends on the specific needs and desired outcomes of your film. Our rates start at $10,000 for more concise projects, while some of our larger-scale productions can exceed $250,000. We are flexible and reasonable in the creation process.
What Cameras Do You Shoot With?
We capture every project in stunning 4K and up to 8K resolution using industry-grade and vintage lenses for a distinct, stylized Hollywood aesthetic. Our cameras are a mix of the Sony FX3, Sony FX6, and the DJI Ronin 4D, reserved for special occasions to ensure the highest quality visuals.
Can We Just Hire You For Consulting?
Absolutely. If you're primarily seeking a pre-production blueprint so your team can handle the filming, we'll provide comprehensive storyboarding sessions to thoroughly prepare you for production.
Will You and Your Team Travel Internationally?
Yes, my team and I are available to travel internationally, tailoring our location choices to the specific needs and narrative scope of your project. Alternatively, you are welcome to join us at our base. Our travel decisions are always guided by the story's requirements and the essential locations needed to authentically tell it.
Can I Have The Raw Film & Motion Assets?
Certainly, while I retain full rights to the original footage, you can license the unedited material for your own use for $1000 USD. This arrangement ensures that the rights remain with me, providing you the flexibility to utilize the footage as needed.
Can You Use Footage I Already Have?
Certainly. If you have existing footage-whether it's of you, your team, your events, or any other relevant content-we can definitely incorporate it into your documentary. Leveraging footage that captures your journey or milestones can significantly enhance the storytelling and authenticity of the final film.
Is This About Going Viral?
Our goal isn't to simply go viral; it's about creating a lasting impact. While views and social proof matter, we prioritize legacy ROl over instant gratification. A million views mean little without the right audience engagement. We concentrate on reaching viewers who resonate deeply with your message and are most likely to connect with your legacy, crafting strategies to ensure your documentary makes a meaningful and lasting impression.
Can I Publish My Movie On Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon?
I often recommend Amazon Prime due to its self-publishing capabilities, but that doesn't rule out platforms like Netflix and Hulu. As long as our production meets their requirements, pursuing these options is entirely feasible. However, it's important to understand that these processes can be time-consuming and complex. We'll need to navigate specific guidelines and potentially higher licensing costs, but with the right approach, broadening your documentary's reach is possible.
