Brand Films & Documentaries

Your origin story, your team, your point of difference, told with the craft of 35 years in Hollywood. Long-form films that build the kind of trust a 30-second spot can't.

Discuss your film

If you want customers to choose you over the competition down the road, they need to believe in you first. A brand film does that: it shows who you are, why you do it and what makes you different.

Ed directed and shot a fundraiser documentary for the Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste in Kinshasa, D.R. Congo, and has made PSAs for causes including the Prince Charles Rainforest Trust. The same approach works for a founder story, a team profile or a nonprofit campaign here on the Panhandle.

Every film starts with a free 30-minute call and a clear creative brief, with an honest budget before you commit.

Brand Films & Documentaries questions

What's the difference between a brand film and a commercial?

A commercial sells a product or offer in seconds. A brand film runs longer and tells your story, so people trust you before they ever call. Many businesses use both; see commercial video.

Do you make documentaries for nonprofits?

Yes. Ed directed and shot a fundraiser documentary in Kinshasa and has made cause PSAs. Fundraiser and awareness films are a core part of this service.

How much does a brand film cost?

Every film is quoted on scope after a free 30-minute call, with an honest budget before you commit. Start with the contact form.
