Do you make brand films for businesses?
Yes. Brand films are one of our core services. We work with restaurants, retail brands, home service companies, and creatives across western NC to produce cinematic films that build trust and drive real results. Most brand film projects start at $2,000 and are delivered within two weeks of the shoot.
What's the difference between a brand film and a business video?
A brand film tells the emotional story of who you are: your values, your people, and why you do what you do. It's typically 90 seconds to 3 minutes and is designed to build a lasting connection. Business video is a broader term that covers specific assets, product videos, team overviews, testimonials, social content, each built around a particular goal rather than a full brand narrative. We do both.
How long does a brand film or corporate video take to produce?
From first call to final delivery, most brand film projects take two to three weeks. That includes a pre-production call, a single shoot day, and a full post-production pass — edit, color grade, and audio mix. We move fast because we plan everything in advance. Rush turnarounds are available if you need it sooner.
Do I need to write a script, or do you handle that?
We handle it. During your discovery call, we'll ask the right questions to pull the story out naturally. Most brand films use authentic, unscripted interviews rather than read narration, it comes across as more genuine. We craft the questions, guide the conversation on camera, and shape the narrative in the edit.
Do you shoot corporate events and company gatherings?
Yes. Corporate event coverage is one of our most common requests — product launches, annual meetings, team retreats, fundraiser galas. We capture the highlights as they happen, then turn them into a polished recap film and short social clips you can use immediately. Everything is billed hourly with editing included, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
How do you estimate the total hours before I book an event?
We ask about your event type, expected duration, and what you want as a finished product. From there we give you a range: X hours on-site, estimated Y hours of editing, total estimate of Z hours at $100/hr. If the actual edit takes longer than estimated, we'll flag it before going over, not after. We want the number to be predictable.
Can I book video only, or photo only?
Yes to both. You can book video coverage, photo coverage, or both together. Many clients opt for both since it's one shoot day and you walk away with a complete content package. But if you only need one or the other, that's completely fine, just let us know in the inquiry form.
Can I use the video and photos on social media and my website?
Yes, full usage rights are included. Use everything we deliver wherever you need it: social media, your website, paid advertising, email marketing, digital displays. There are no licensing restrictions or platform limitations. The content is yours.
What makes a good brand film for a small business?
The best brand films do one thing: they make the viewer feel something before they think about price. A good brand film shows who you are, what you do differently, and why it matters — in under two minutes. We write a simple creative brief before every shoot so we know exactly what story we're telling before we touch a camera. Most clients see an immediate difference in how new customers talk about them after watching the film.
We're a local Asheville business — do you offer any local rates?
Yes. We love working with local Asheville businesses and we're familiar with the market. If you're based in Asheville or western NC, mention it when you reach out — we can often avoid any travel costs entirely and structure a package that makes sense for where you are. We've worked with restaurants, contractors, real estate agents, retailers, and nonprofits across the region.
