Sound familiar?

Your programs change women's lives. Your appeal still runs on a statistic.

Economic mobility programs, girls' education, leadership networks and shelters all carry stories that move donors. Teams are small, the work never stops, and the women with the best stories are busy living them.

×

Small teams doing everything

Most women's funds and programs run lean. Video waits until next year, every year.

×

Some stories need protecting

Survivors and participants need consent, care and control over what is shared.

Impact stuck in a PDF

Your board reads outcomes. The next donor never meets the woman behind them.

In their words

Women-led teams, in their own words.

The Western New York Women's Foundation runs on six people. We covered five locations of their leadership summit in one day, and Suzanne's board asked for our number. Heifer International needed the women farmers of Honduras to tell their own story. Here is what they told us.

Questions

Questions women's organizations ask us

Tap a question. Each answer comes with a 20-second video.

Is the free session really free?+

Yes. The Zoom session and the three videos our editors cut from it cost nothing. No contract, no card, and you keep every file with no obligation to buy anything afterwards. Book your free session and see your story on screen.

Book my free session →
What happens on the free session?+

You pick one person close to your work, and our producer interviews them live over Zoom for forty-five minutes while we record. Our editors then turn that conversation into three finished, captioned videos for your website, your social channels and your next appeal. All you have to do is show up, so book your free session.

Book my free session →
Who can we put on camera?+

Anyone whose story moves people: your director, a program lead, a volunteer, someone your program served, or a grantee overseas joining from a phone. Our producer guides every answer, so nobody needs camera experience or a script. Bring your people to a free session and we'll handle the rest.

Book my free session →
How do you protect survivors and participants on camera?+

Every shoot is planned around consent and dignity. People sign releases in their own language, we never show minors' names or identifying details, and anyone sharing something sensitive reviews it before it goes live. Your safeguarding policy always overrides ours, starting with your free session.

Book my free session →
How do you tell hard stories without exploiting anyone's pain?+

We tell stories of strength, not pity. The people on camera speak in their own words about change, progress and what they want the world to know, because donors give more when they see dignity and agency. See how we'd frame your story on a free session.

Book my free session →
Can you plan videos around Women's History Month, our gala or our summit?+

Yes. Tell us your calendar, from Giving Tuesday and awareness months to galas and year-end appeals, and we plan every shoot and edit backwards from those dates. Book your free session early and your first videos are ready before the moment arrives.

Book my free session →
What do we actually get from one session or shoot?+

More than one video. A single conversation becomes a set of edits: short vertical clips for social, a longer story for your website, a fundraising ask and captioned versions for every platform. Your free session shows you exactly what one hour can turn into.

Book my free session →
Who owns the videos?+

You do. Your organization owns the finished videos and all of the raw footage, including everything we record on your free session. Use them on any channel, in any report, for as long as you like.

Book my free session →
How long until we get the videos?+

Your three free videos land in your inbox within two weeks of your session, with a simple review link if you want a change. For bigger shoots, we plan backwards from your gala, board meeting or appeal date. Tell us the date on your free session.

Book my free session →
What does it cost after the free session?+

Whatever comes next is scoped to exactly what you need, from a single film to a steady stream of videos for every program, and you get the price in writing before any work starts. No surprise change orders and no pressure. Your free session shows you what that scope should be.
