We Don’t Just Make Films.

We Create Business Impact.

Most companies ask for a video. What they really need is a solution to a business problem. They need to attract top talent, inspire investor confidence, or turn customers into evangelists. A pretty video won’t do that. A powerful, authentic story will.

Our process is designed to uncover that story and transform it into your most powerful marketing asset.

Case Study: Brand Film — Paul TenHaken | The Leadership Arena

A city’s mayor. A company’s founder. A man stepping into his next chapter on a national stage. What began as a request for a speaker sizzle reel became something far more powerful — a cinematic brand film that introduced a proven leader to an entire country that didn’t yet know his name.

The Client’s Ask: “I need a sizzle reel to promote my speaking career as I transition out of the mayor’s office.”
The Deeper Problem: A sizzle reel would have resonated with audiences in Sioux Falls — people who already knew Paul. But his goal was national. To build credibility with rooms full of people who had never heard of him, he needed more than highlights. He needed proof — proof of his character, his leadership, and his impact, told through the people who witnessed it firsthand.
Our Strategic Approach: We recommended shifting from a sizzle reel to a full brand film. Through our Storyfinding process, we identified the people closest to Paul’s journey — professional colleagues, city officials, and community leaders — and gathered their stories before a single camera was turned on. What emerged wasn’t a career recap. It was a portrait of a leader defined by authenticity, service, and the ability to bring people together through crisis and change.
The Result: A brand film that travels with Paul wherever he goes. By building his credibility through the voices of those who know him best, it introduces him to new audiences as a trusted, proven leader — giving him a compelling asset to anchor his speaking platform and open doors across the country.

Case Study: Impact Film — FeedFlo + Mogler Farms | Farming Smarter, Not Harder

A fifth-generation pig farm in rural Iowa. A Canadian tech startup disrupting agriculture. And a story that was never really about software — it was about legacy. What began as a request for a simple testimonial became an impact film that gave FeedFlo their most powerful sales and fundraising asset.

The Client’s Ask: “We need a testimonial video featuring Mogler Farms to show our product works.”
The Deeper Problem: FeedFlo wasn’t just selling a feed sensor — they were selling a new future for family farming. Their goal was to move from early adopters to the mainstream market, and eventually land the industry’s biggest players. A talking-head testimonial wouldn’t move that needle. They needed a story that made farmers feel something before they ever ran the numbers.
Our Strategic Approach: We spent a full day at Pig Hill Farm before a single camera was turned on. Through our Storyfinding process, we listened to the Mogler family — their history, their hesitations, and the moment things changed. What we discovered was the real story: a family carrying five generations of tradition who found that embracing technology wasn’t a departure from their legacy, it was the only way to protect it.
The Result: An impact film built around one of FeedFlo’s most compelling visionary clients — giving them a story that resonates with farmers across the country while positioning them as a true partner to the agricultural community, not just a tech vendor.

Case Study: Artist Film — Joe Schaeffer | Where Design Meets Art

A graphic design professor. A fine artist. A gallery owner. Joe Schaeffer has spent his career existing at the intersection of two worlds that rarely speak to each other — and most people didn’t know it. What began as a request to capture a few testimonials for his website became a portrait film that gave Joe the platform to introduce himself to the world on his own terms.

The Client’s Ask: “Can you film a few people saying nice things about my art for my website?”
The Deeper Problem: Joe wasn’t trying to reach a general audience — he needed to earn the attention of elite curators, tastemakers, and collectors who operate in a world where credibility is everything. A string of testimonials wouldn’t establish that. He needed a film that communicated his vision, his depth, and the rare space he occupies where commercial design and fine art converge.
Our Strategic Approach: Rather than let others simply describe Joe, we put Joe at the center of his own story. Through our Storyfinding process, we uncovered the throughline that defined his journey — from accidental discovery of his father’s design portfolio, to professor, to painter, to gallery founder. Then we layered in the voices of those who had witnessed his evolution firsthand, building a narrative that positioned him not just as an artist, but as a movement.
The Result: An artist film that travels with Joe into every room that matters. It doesn’t just show his work — it communicates his world, his philosophy, and his trajectory, giving collectors and curators exactly what they need to take him seriously.
