Producing your
Mini-documentary

This is the work we are known for.
Our award-winning team of documentary filmmakers will create a mini-documentary that humanizes your brand and makes a solid connection with your audience.

There are many types of stories you can tell with a mini-documentary. We’ll work closely with you to identify stories that will move your audience, and build a concept for your mini-documentary that works for your brand.

Types of stories:

Project/Campaign Stories – show your work in action
People Stories – introduce staff, customers, clients, partners
Awareness and Action – highlight an issue and action steps
Fundraising – inspire and motivate new donations
Internal Stories – educate and inspire your team

Let’s tell your stories.

The good folks at TrimTab Media were amazing to work with. They listened to our ideas, added their own creativity and ingenuity, and gave us a finished product that was better than we could have imagined. They were easy to work with and produced great results, on time. We recommend them highly.
