How long does it take to make the movie?

While we always appreciate as much lead time as possible, we can turn around a solid film in four weeks.

How long will the movie be?

Again, that depends on you - we can make a five to ten minute film, we can go in depth with a one-hour fim, 30 minutes is an average time for a lot of what we do.

How much does it cost?

How much your movie will cost can depend on different factors -- the desired length, number of interviews, possible travel involved, the overall concept. We operate on a wide range of budgets, depending on these factors, but a general rule of thumb is we usually charge $1,000 per finished minute of film, and the shortest film we make is 5 minutes. We offer discounted rates when films are over 10 minutes. And if we end up making a longer film than initially quoted, we don't charge any overage.

Who should be in the movie?

Let's discuss -- your friends? Your spouse? Your family? Employees and co-workers? We're interested in anyone who might have something interesting or pertinent to say.

What kind of equipment is used to make the movie?

We shoot in high definition and have a wide range of equipment and crew available. We can make a small intimate film -- or we can make Gone With the Wind.

What if people aren't comfortable being interviewed?

We specialize in making everyone feel very comfortable in front of the camera. It's difficult for many people, even those who do it professionally, to have a camera stuck in their face and then be told to talk. But we take the time to help people get over any "camera fright," so that they can be themselves and tell their part with humor and warmth.

Is my life story boring?

No one is boring, everyone has something fascinating to add to the narrative. We are genuinely interested in other people and specialize in finding that distinct little tidbit our interview subjects may have. That's what we do best.
