Life Stories

Tell your story or any story of impact or philanthropy in a documentary. Working with prominent directors (including Oscar and Emmy Award winners), we conduct on-camera interviews, shape the narrative, and produce a premier-quality biopic—whatever length you desire. We produced this inspiring hour-long documentary about business builder and philanthropist Eli Broad and this short film about Marc Morial, the President and CEO of the National Urban League. The latter project led us to produce Gumbo Coalition, now streaming on Max.
