The cost of a project depends on the scope, complexity, and strategic needs of your organization. Unlike traditional video production companies, we don’t just create content—we craft strategic storytelling that drives real results. Typically, one of our projects starts around $12,000-$15,000. This amount can increase or decrease with factors such as number of filming days, the number of subjects, and the number of locations.
