Frequently Asked Questions

What is your turn around time?

Turnaround time depends entirely on the type of documentary you’re envisioning.

  • If you're working with historical footage, public domain content, and a voiceover script, we can sometimes deliver a polished piece within a few weeks.

  • If your project involves new interviews, original b-roll, and complex editing, expect a timeline closer to 6–8 weeks at minimum—and often longer depending on scope.

  • For long-form or story-driven documentaries that unfold over time, timelines can span months or even years.

We’ll work closely with you to define the style, scale, and schedule that fits your vision and budget.

Can you produce our documentary?

Yes—we’d be honored. Our award-winning team of producers, directors, and cinematographers has created multiple documentaries and short films, earning dozens of festival laurels along the way. Whether you're starting from a rough idea or a fully outlined vision, we have the talent and experience to bring it to life.

How much does it cost to make a documentary?

It depends on the scope, length, and production quality you're aiming for.

  • On the very low end, a bare-bones documentary can sometimes be made for as little as $15,000—but that usually means minimal crew, basic editing, and limited distribution.

  • Most professionally produced documentaries fall in the $50,000 to $150,000 range, especially if you're aiming for broadcast-quality visuals, multiple interviews, original footage, animation, or widespread reach.

We’ll tailor the budget to match your goals—and walk you through what’s possible at every level.

All you need to do is submit an inquiry here and we will coordinate a discovery call with you to go over every aspect of your event videography needs. After that, we will provide an estimate based on that conversation. There is no cost until you’ve seen the final layout and agree.
