Leaving lasting impressions of Founders
through the stories that made them
Services & Pricing Guide
Why 'Portrait Films'?
Historically, portrait pictures position their subjects to look directly at the painter or photographer, to uniquely engage & connect with the viewer. The resulting intimacy has immortalised images of the most famous people in history.
But to capture a subject so naturally and yet stoically, requires a unique set of skills.
As filmmakers for over 20 years, we specialise in storytelling techniques that engage and reveal our subject's motivations, personalities, and aspirations with the same feel as inspirational characters in high-end Cinema and Documentary Films.
“The intimacy of portrait films leave an impression far beyond the scope of standard corporate marketing content.”
Our process.
Guided Discovery
Using an attentive research and writing approach, we first help our subjects to discover and reveal their own voice. By listening to, recording, and editing the results, we form a tailor-made, unique narrative built around our subject.
Identity Branding
As experts in the field of storytelling, we develop layers of connections between our subject's story and their businesses. This connects the audience to relatable aspects of the story, which they see in themselves.
Content strategy
As a bespoke service, we make sure your content reaches the appropriate audience, to make a meaningful impact where it matters. Our strategy focuses on quality above quantity to reach decision-makers on their most trusted platforms and publications.
