Impact Storytelling
Video production for nonprofits, arts organizations, and cultural institutions in Chicago.
Your impact, told brick by brick.
A great program deserves to be seen. We help you tell it.
Video puts faces to your mission, shows donors what their dollars actually do, and gives your community something to share.
A well-made film keeps working for you long after it's made: on your website, in your email campaigns, in grant applications, and anywhere your story needs to be told.
Past Projects
Fundraising Through Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments
Tap Cancer Out Documentary | Nonprofit
Tap Cancer Out is a jiu-jitsu based 501(c)(3) nonprofit raising awareness and funds for cancer fighting organizations by mobilizing and empowering the grappling community to create change.
The organization had a compelling story worth telling, and we collaborated on a video that could communicate their mission to new audiences and potential donors.
We produced a short documentary built around the people behind the organization, tracing the origin of the idea and the community that grew around it. We let the founders speak for themselves, using their own words to carry the weight of the cause.
The result is a film that works both as an introduction to the organization and as a piece of impact storytelling, the kind of content that moves people to care before it asks them to act.
A Cambodian Story, Told Over Donuts

Bricktown documented the evening with a focus on intimacy and restraint: letting the family speak in their own words, capturing the warmth of the room, and preserving a first-person account of Cambodian American history that might otherwise go unrecorded.
