Some things a spec sheet can’t tell them.
Corporate identity films, CEO and leadership interviews, facility and operations tours, customer stories, and company documentaries — for manufacturers whose reputation is doing as much selling as the product.

They can compare your products. They can’t compare your company.
A specifier can put your submittal next to a competitor’s and see the difference in a minute. What they can’t see is the plant, the people, the forty years of doing it a particular way, or the reason your engineering team makes the decisions it does.
The same is true for the rep carrying your line, the distributor deciding how much shelf to give you, the acquisition target weighing your offer, and the machinist deciding whether to take the job.
That’s what these films are for — the part of the sell that isn’t on the drawing.

Recruitment and culture films
Some of this shares a production day — a facility tour in the morning, leadership interviews in the afternoon. Other jobs need two or three days to cover properly. We scope it either way, and if we’re already on site, adding a second or third subject costs a fraction of coming back.
Where we work
Our production base is Los Angeles, and we travel. We’ve shot facility and operations films across the US and in Mexico. Travel can be scoped into the quote, or booked through your own travel department against our rider — whichever is easier for you.
Multi-site films
If you have several plants, we plan them as one multi-day production rather than a series of separate shoots. Consistent treatment across every location, and a schedule built to make best use of crew time and travel — which keeps the per-location cost well below shooting them one at a time.
We produced an operations tour series across Morris Group International’s locations, covering divisions in California, New York, Illinois, Alabama and Mexico.
What it costs
Projects start around $10,000, covering concept, pre-production, the shoot, and post.
Multi-day and multi-location work is scoped as a whole rather than as repeated day rates. We itemise everything — pre-production, production and post, line by line — so you can see what each element costs and adjust scope rather than negotiate a lump sum.
What we’d need to get started
-
What the film is for, and who needs to see it
-
Which locations or people are involved
-
Any date it has to exist by — a conference, an anniversary, a sales meeting
-
Who owns sign-off
In terms of your time: planning varies — sometimes one conversation settles it, sometimes a few as things firm up with your team. The shoot itself is contained. A production day runs long with load-in, rig build and teardown, but the interview itself is usually a couple of hours of your executive’s day, not all of it.
If you’d rather not shoot at your own facility, we handle location scouting.
Morris Group International — The Wholesaler
In March 2024, The Wholesaler put our photography of the CEO on its cover, alongside a multi-page feature co-written by the magazine and MGI's VP of Marketing.
We produced the two-day shoot behind it, from location to post: the photography, the filmed CEO interview, and the Chasing the Dream video series MGI released on its website. The product renders in the feature were ours too.
