Business Films

We specialize in emotion-filled films that help you connect with your clients and that feel honest, authentic, and genuine.

 

Films

 

Our films are personal, people-focused, and story-driven. We want each film to be unique to your company and brand, and we look for opportunities for your personality and values to shine through. In each film we seek to create a feeling and leave viewers with a call to action.

 
 
 
 
 

Philosophy

We want to tell real stories. The kind of films that either make you cry or jump for joy - or maybe both. Using our documentary-style approach, we focus on candid moments and unscripted interactions because we know those are the moments your viewers will connect with the most. Through our films, your viewers will feel emotionally engaged and will become advocates for your brand.

We believe in the power of long-form video first, meaning we’ll look for an opportunity to tell your story in full first before we start thinking about short snippets for social media. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t be planning for 2, 3, or even more films at once - we know that video is an investment, and if we can help you save time and money by creating and shooting for a full video strategy or campaign, that’s definitely what we’ll look to do.

    "We recently worked with Paper Heart Films on a video for Abeego and we could not have asked for a better experience! They took our vision and turned it into a beautiful reality. They're responsive, organized and handle everything in such a professional manner. If you want a high-quality product that is true to your brand, I would highly recommend."

    "After my first meeting with Bryan where we discussed my vision for the film he sent me a detailed proposal that captured everything I expressed I wanted and more. I felt confident that they would do an excellent job capturing my vision and I was not disappointed! I will definitely be working with Paper Heart Films again in the future."

    "We have now worked with Paper Heart Films on a number of corporate projects, and it is a fantastic experience every time. They are such good storytellers, and are able to portray the heart and soul of every brand they work with in an authentic and beautiful way."

    "I've had the pleasure to work with Chelsea and Bryan several times over the past few years on videos for my business. They are great communicators, professional, personable and make the entire process enjoyable. Being on camera isn't exactly one of my favourite things, but Chelsea and Bryan make it completely stress-free. And the end result is always exactly what I'd been looking for, if not better!"

Style

Our process is informed by our experience with non-profit and small-business management, and we bring that experience to every project. Before filming we work to get to know you, your goals, and the stories you want to tell. This means working together collaboratively on paper first to ensure we’re getting exactly what you need from a film. 

When filming, we keep our gear minimal and our footprint small in order to help everyone feel comfortable, or maybe they don’t even notice us at all! In our editing, we focus on the candid, genuine moments - we aren’t looking for the perfectly staged shot, but instead we’re looking to share the big hugs, the unscripted laughs, and those moments that you just can’t plan for. 

We’re a good fit for companies looking to tell a brand story or to connect personally or emotionally with the right clients, but we aren’t a good fit for someone hoping to create an Avengers-style epic commercial or to “go viral”.

Is your project is a good fit for our style?
