Real People. Real Impact. Real Results

. Below are ten examples of how we’ve helped purpose-driven organizations turn complex missions and cold data into warm, human stories. These films span industries and causes, but they all share one thing in common: they connect the heart of the work to the people who need to see it.

A Cry In The Dark

A Cry In The Dark is a raw and redemptive journey from trafficking and addiction to spiritual awakening. Through unfiltered testimony and hauntingly honest reflection, this film chronicles one woman’s fall into darkness and her relentless pursuit of light. It’s a story of rescue—not just from the world, but from herself—where hope rises step by step, breath by breath, as she clings to the only thing that never let go: grace.

A Ninja's Journey

A Ninja's Journey is a story about finding strength not in stature, but in surrender. From a childhood marked by exclusion and shame to a platform built on perseverance and faith, Nate’s journey reveals that true identity isn’t measured by muscle or medals—it’s anchored in purpose. Through pain, prayer, and the quiet resilience of grace, he steps into the arena not to win, but to witness.

The Least Of These

The Least of These is a quiet, powerful portrait of resilience in the face of brokenness. Through the eyes of a foster care advocate and the families she supports, we see the toll—and the beauty—of choosing to stay when it would be easier to quit. With layered storytelling and intimate visuals, this film invites us to believe that healing is possible when a community shows up together, again and again.

(re)turning

(re)turning follows the deeply personal journey of a pastor returning to his hometown to plant a church where his story began. Through vulnerability, vision, and heartbreak, we witness the power of community, legacy, and faith to transform a city—one baptism, one story, one family at a time. This is a portrait of purpose unfolding in real time, rooted in place and propelled by hope.

I Shouldn't Be Here

As Director of Photography on I Shouldn't Be Here, we shot in a stark white studio to strip away every distraction—creating a space where Adrian Hans Martinez’s raw, unfiltered story could take center stage. With just one day of production, we leaned into simplicity, using minimalism and intentional light to let his presence, his pain, and his redemption speak louder than any set ever could.

"This is not what it's supposed to be like..."

In "This is not what it's supposed to be like...", we dive deep into a raw journey of addiction, shame, and redemption—a man wrestling with his past and fighting to reclaim his life and family. This intimate story reveals how grace and truth collide to transform brokenness into hope, showing the power of authentic storytelling to capture life’s hardest, most human moments.

Leaving the 99

A Marine on the brink of divorce, broken by trauma and failure, finds unexpected redemption in faith—and a new calling to reach the very people he once served beside. As director and editor, I crafted this story to strip away pretense and immerse viewers in a deeply human transformation, revealing how love, vulnerability, and mission can reshape a life and a community. Shot with restraint and edited for emotional clarity, this film embodies how strategic, story-driven filmmaking can ignite empathy, rally support, and amplify the mission of purpose-driven organizations. It's not just a testimony—it's a launchpad for impact.
