Your work tells a story. Nobody's hearing it. A single film that shows customers why you care about their problem and why you're the right people to solve it.
No pressure. 20 minutes. We'll tell you if it's the right fit.
Most business owners have an incredible story. It's in their head, in the heads of their team, or in the stories a few long-time customers tell each other. The problem is that none of that can scale. Your story has to live somewhere your customers can actually find it.
Most business websites lead with services and specs. Customers don't remember any of it. They remember how the brand made them feel and whether they trusted it.
When a prospect lands on your site for the first time, you have about 10 seconds to convince them you're worth sticking around for. A wall of text won't do it. A great film will.
Without a brand story film, your salespeople spend the first 20 minutes of every call explaining who you are. Imagine if that work was already done before the call even started.
Every brand story film follows our double-duty rule. One production, multiple deliverables, full commercial usage rights. You're not paying for a single video — you're building a content library.
The full brand story. This is the film that lives on your homepage, runs in your sales process, and works as the anchor for your brand presence for years.
A shorter, punchier version built for paid ads, trade shows, and places where attention is tight. Same story, compressed.
Vertical cuts optimized for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Each one pulled from the main shoot so the quality matches.
We shoot photography on the same day as video. You walk away with a batch of branded photos at no additional cost. Double-duty in action.
Everything we produce is yours. Use it on your website, in paid ads, on trade show screens, in presentations. No licensing fees, no expiration.
We don't show up with a camera on day one. The best brand story films come from knowing your story before we ever hit record. Here's how it goes.
We sit down with you, walk your space, and learn your story. Where you started, what makes your work different, what you want your customers to feel.
We turn the discovery into a script and storyboard. You review, we revise. Nothing gets shot until you're excited about the story we're going to tell.
One or two shoot days depending on scope. We handle everything from interviews to b-roll to photography. You show up and be yourself.
First cut in two to three weeks. Two rounds of revisions included. Final delivery with all the files, clips, and photography ready to use.
We've produced brand story films across multiple industries, from flooring to outdoor structures to manufacturing. Here are a few recent examples.
Freedom Flooring
Gary and Darwin Hurst built Freedom Flooring to do things the right way in an industry that too often cuts corners. We captured their philosophy, their team, and their craftsmanship in a brand story film that lives on their new Lancaster location launch.
Fisher's Backyard Structures
A full brand story film paired with photography, logo design, and a new website. Everything they needed to show up as the premium option in Lancaster County's competitive outdoor structure market.
Brand story films from Stump & Root Co. start at $6,000 and typically land between $6,000 and $8,500 depending on scope. That includes one shoot day, full script development, the hero film, a sizzle cut, short-form social clips, photography, and full commercial usage rights. Multi-day productions or films with more complex scripting land higher. Every project is scoped individually, so the best next step is a conversation.
A commercial tells people what you sell. A brand story film shows people who you are and why you do what you do. Commercials are about the product. Brand story films are about the company and the people behind it. Most businesses need both, but the brand story film is the one that builds trust and shortens the sales cycle. It's the anchor piece of content that every other piece of marketing points back to.
Most company videos are about the company. They open with the founder, walk through milestones, and end with a logo. A Brand Story Film is about your customer's experience. It opens with their problem, positions you as the guide, and ends with their transformation. That's the difference between a video people skip and a video that builds trust.
Most people aren't. That's normal. Our job is to make the process feel less like a formal interview and more like a conversation. We ask better questions, we give you the space to think, and we edit out anything that doesn't work. By the end of the shoot, most clients tell us it felt easier than they expected.
From first discovery call to final delivery, most brand story films take 4 to 6 weeks. That includes 1 to 2 weeks for discovery and script development, a shoot day, 2 to 3 weeks of editing, and 1 to 2 revision rounds. Rush turnarounds are possible when needed but the best work comes from giving the process room to breathe.
Every season you put this off, your competitors who are doing it well get a little further ahead, and the gap gets a little harder to close.
Your website feels like every other business in your category
You compete on price because you can't compete on story
Every sales call starts from zero, explaining who you are
Your best stories stay trapped in your head or your team's memory
Your ads perform worse because they're selling features, not feelings
You show up as the premium choice in your market
Your sales process gets shorter because trust is built before the call
Your marketing has an anchor that everything else points back to
Your team feels proud sharing it, building culture & recruits better people
You own a piece of content that keeps working for three to five years
Former brand storyteller for King Swings and Beuta. I've spent the last decade turning scattered marketing into content systems that actually drive sales. When I'm not on set or building strategy, I'm with my wife and kids, studying theology, or drinking a Coke Zero.
The first step is a simple conversation. We'll talk about where your business is, what you want to grow, and whether a brand story film is the right move for you right now.
