Part of the year we work pro bono: for free or for far less than the work costs.
Whose life gets better or safer, and how will you see it? The answer is a specific person or community: a donor found, a prosthesis funded, an archive saved.
You pay nothing: the idea, shoot, edit, music and licences are on us, and the rights go to you. We take a few such projects a year.
Our work is free. You pay for gear, transport, the location and fees of outside people on a transparent estimate, with no studio markup.
We give you a script, a shot list, camera and sound settings, and review the finished material. You shoot it yourselves.
That is different work, and it has a regular price.
A company does a good deed and wants a film about it. That is a commercial project.
An annual responsibility report, a certificate ceremony, a conference recap. We do these, but for money.
If nothing changes after the project except the view count, it does not pass the filter.
Parties, candidates, election campaigns, whatever our own views.
One paragraph: what you do, for whom, and the answer to the question above. No deck needed.
We check whether video will really help here. If not, we say so.
We say “yes” with the form of our part, or “no” with the reason.
