The proof problem
Right now, buyers have to take your word for it.
Owners, lenders and tradespeople often decide before they have seen you work. Your best proof is on your job sites, and most of it never leaves.

How it works
We plan it, film it and build it. You stay as involved as you like.
One site day captures the work. The interviews carry the whole project.
- 1
We plan it before we film it.
We agree what story to tell and what it needs to do for you.
- 2
Interviews tell the whole project.
The people who ran it, and the client it was built for.
- 3
We film one day on site.
Access and permission forms sorted first. Your crew keeps working.
- 4
Then we do the rest.
We edit, write and build the page, and keep going until it is right.
Your part
- Introduce the project lead and the client
- Give short interviews at agreed times
- Share your notes on the drafts
Our part
- Scheduling and picking the filming day
- Planning the story and guiding the interviews
- Filming, editing, writing and the page
Where it goes
Win the bid.
Keep the owner.
Fill the crew.
The bid package first. The same pieces work for owners and hiring.
In the bid package
The committee stops taking your word for it and hears from someone who already hired you.
- The project film goes in the pre-qual package
- Your estimator sends the page instead of a nudge
- One link shows what a proposal can only describe
Example of our production work
In front of the people funding the work
They see it in their own time, without another meeting.
- A record of what was built and how it went
- One page they can forward instead of a report
- Theirs to share internally

The deadline
A finished building is just a building.
The proof is the work, and the work only exists while it is happening. Once the site demobilizes, no version of this can be recovered. Not at any price, not by anyone.
If there is a job running right now that you would want a committee to see, that is the one.
The guarantee
What we guarantee.
First draft in thirty days, or you do not pay.
The edited project video, ready to review, thirty days after the site day or the last interview. If it is late, you get a full refund and keep every file.
We edit until it is right.
We gather everyone’s notes into one list, so there is no endless back and forth and your story goes live fast.
If the footage is not right, we come back.
Another day at our cost. No change order.
Why the founding rate?
We are building a commercial construction portfolio. The founding rate is for three qualifying projects, with written agreement on which approved work we can feature, and for exactly the package listed here.
Who qualifies?
A commercial contractor or trade with a Central Ohio project where meaningful work is visible; a real use for the story, such as an upcoming bid, a prequalification or a sales follow-up; one authorized contact who can introduce the people involved; and approval to film the site and feature the approved work. The first call is where we confirm it together.
Do we have to manage the shoot?
No. You introduce the people and name the site contact. We handle the scheduling and the filming. Your team still gives the agreed interviews, the permissions only it can give, and its notes on the drafts.
Does one day cover the whole project?
The camera covers one agreed day on site: the work as it stands, the crew, the details. The story of the whole project comes from the interviews, with the people who ran it and the client it was built for. Filming more than one stage or location is a separate project.
What happens if the first draft is late?
The project is free. Anything you have already paid is refunded in full, and you keep every file we have made.
