The Origin Cut
A single 3–4 minute documentary built around one founder and one turning point. Half-day shoot, two-camera interview, b-roll, score, and two rounds of notes.

By Friday's Pitch, The Room Goes Quiet The Moment Your Founder Speaks.
We script, film, and edit short documentaries that carry an origin story — the late nights, the first customer, the reason it still matters — straight onto your site, your raise deck, and your feed.
A logo gets glanced at. A face, mid-sentence, gets remembered.
Most company stories live in bullet points — flattened, deadline-safe, easy to scroll past. We work the other way: a quiet room, one camera held close, and the kind of question that makes someone stop performing and start telling the truth.
The result is a three-to-six minute film with grain, breath, and the hum of a real place behind it — built to sit at the top of a homepage, anchor a Series A deck, or get cut down for the feed without losing its pulse.
From first call to final cut
How A Story Gets Out Of Your Head And Onto The Screen
Four weeks, give or take. You talk; we listen hard, then build around the moments that land.
01
The Long Conversation
Before a single light goes up, we sit down — coffee, an hour, a recorder running — and find the turn in your story worth the whole film. From it we draft a question map, not a script you have to memorize.
02
Filming Day
One quiet room, two cameras, soft directional light. We shoot the interview close, then gather the texture — hands, machinery, the view out the window, the chipped mug. It usually takes half a day and feels more like a chat than a set.
03
Edit & Color
We cut for rhythm and breath, score it lightly, and grade it warm and filmic. You see a first cut inside ten days with two rounds of notes built into the price — no surprise line items when feedback arrives.
04
Delivery, Every Shape You Need
Master film for the website, a tightened deck version, and vertical cutdowns for Instagram and LinkedIn — captioned, color-matched, and delivered in formats that drop straight into your stack.

What We Make, And What It Runs

The Raise
A deck-ready film engineered to move investors — tighter, sharper, with the proof points woven through the personal story. Includes a 90-second pitch cut and a 30-second teaser.
Build Your Raise FilmFounder Profile
A character-led short for press, hiring, and the about page — who you are and why this, told plainly. Studio-style or on-location.
