Stories That Move Donors to Action

We help faith-based nonprofits tell stories that maximize donations so they can impact the kingdom.

Fundraising Films


We have worked with faith based non-profits for 20 years, and have learned how to maximize fundraising strategies.

We have seen films help raise over $10 million at galas, over $400,000 at home events, and $600,000 for year-end campagins, leading to transformation. 


Case Studies

Over $10 Million Raised

Agape International Missions (AIM) fights child sex trafficking around the world.


In 2023, a gala where a film we co-wrote, and produced was featured raised over $4 million, with another $400,000 from home events, resulting in purchasing a restoration home in Central America where girls could begin to heal from trauma. 


For the 2025 gala, we wrote, produced, shot, and edited a film series around AIM’s core pillars, helping secure $5.9 million in pledges.

 

These weren’t just films—they were part of a strategy that moved people and moved the mission forward in meaningful ways.


$17,000 Media Grant Awarded

When the Sacramento Law Enforcement Chaplain Academy was expanding, they needed to recruit new volunteers. We helped organize clear goals, campgain strategy, messaging, video content with custom website landing pages and to help viewers take the next step. The result was awarded a grant to produce an entire year of outreach material to gain even more volunteers in order to serve people in a time of their greatest need.


Our Process

Phase 1 | Set Fundraising Goals

Focusing on the greatest need will refine campaign strategy and messaging to show donors how their dollars will make a tangible impact. Set timelines, campaign strategy.

Phase 2 | Identify Impact Story

Sourcing stories that resonate with your audience so they tangibly see how their donations transform lives.

Phase 3 | Production & Post Production

This can be a film crew on the ground, or us building a streamlined solution to get storytelling content from the ground. We can work with contractors, volunteers 

Phase 4 | Impact

This is where we pull the funding levers and watch our hard work pay off, as people on the ground are served through programs. 

Solving Problems

Two decades working with nonprofits has given us a unique understanding of roadblocks,

but our niche is finding solutions so you can tell your story, and move your audience to action.

Every Language - Fundraising Short Video

This overview video was edited for Church services and to invite pastors to join the mission. I also created a 3-minute and a 6-minute version to show how translations are being done and to show donors how their involvement translates to tangible impact. These were used to help launch the initial fundraising, which has raised over $150k in the first month.
