Documentaries
We create compelling documentaries and episodic series that foster a strong emotional connection with your audience. Our productions concentrate on stories that intersect environmental and social justice issues.
Our film, "Belonging," is an excellent example of how we spark meaningful conversations about inclusion, equity, and representation in outdoor activities.
This film has garnered attention from film festivals and has secured a licensing deal with the streaming platform WaterBear Network.
Impact Stories
Impact storytelling is an effective way of showcasing the results of your work. By sharing impact stories, donors can build trust and make informed decisions about where to invest their resources for maximum impact.
For instance, our case study of Minnesota's Office of Collaboration and Dispute Resolution (OCDR) is an excellent example of advocacy demonstrating OCDR's value, thus making a solid case for continued funding by new state legislators.
Origin Stories
Origin or Founder Stories refers to the tale of how your organization started. It typically includes the problem encountered, the steps taken to address it, and the journey that led to the current state.
"Uncharted Dreams: Klarhet Origin Story" is an excellent example of how to share values. This film helped Klarhet express their values and aspirations, connecting them more deeply with potential guests, employees, and partners.
