Built for How Agencies Buy

Written Fixed Quotes

Scope documents and fixed pricing suitable for purchase orders and RFP responses.

Vendor Paperwork, Ready

W-9 and certificates of insurance on request — no chasing.

Accessible Deliverables

Captioned versions prepared with Section 508 / WCAG expectations in mind, ready for public channels.

One Vendor, 31 Cities

One contract can cover a district, county, or state — same crews, same standard, one point of contact.

Our crews have filmed inside active police departments, fire stations, 9-1-1 centers, and public schools. We understand chain of command, on-scene conduct, and the sensitivities of filming sworn personnel, students, and the public — and we plan every shoot around your agency’s protocols, not ours.

Government Video Production — FAQ

Do you respond to RFPs and work from purchase orders?
Yes. We provide written fixed-price quotes and scope documents suitable for RFP responses and purchase orders, plus W-9s and certificates of insurance on request.
Can you film with active-duty personnel and inside secure facilities?
Yes — the films on this page were shot inside working police departments, fire stations, and a 9-1-1 communications center. We coordinate every shoot with command staff and PIOs, follow facility protocols, and plan around shift schedules and operational needs.
Do you deliver captioned, accessibility-ready versions?
Yes. We deliver captioned versions on request and prepare public-facing deliverables with Section 508 / WCAG expectations in mind, so they are ready for your website, social channels, and public meetings.
Can you serve multiple agencies or sites across a region?
Yes. With studios in 31 cities, one contract can cover work across a district, county, or state — same crews, same standard, same point of contact.
How fast can you deliver?
Recruitment films typically run a few weeks from kickoff to delivery depending on scope and approvals; event coverage and PSAs can move faster. We provide a written timeline with every quote — and we hit it.
