Videography

For social enterprises and nonprofits in Africa, there's a smarter way to produce high-quality video. Instead of spending tens of thousands on international film crews, you can hire local professionals with the same skills and equipment. This not only reduces expenses significantly but also supports local talent and communities, all while delivering high-quality, cost-effective production services.

Lights, Camera, Impact: A Mission Transformed Through Film

Impact Nations, a non-profit dedicated to empowering vulnerable communities, faced a classic dilemma: how to tell their powerful stories on a shoestring budget. Before they found a creative partner, their film production was a major hurdle. They would hire freelancers for costly, one-off video projects, which meant they could only create a handful of films each year. This not only limited their storytelling but also made it nearly impossible to document the crucial work happening on the ground across multiple countries.

The Challenge: Scaling Storytelling

As a global organisation, Impact Nations' work is spread across Africa, Nepal, India, and The Philippines. Capturing these stories was a logistical nightmare. Coordinating film crews internationally was too complex and expensive, leaving much of their impactful work undocumented. The internal team tried to manage video production themselves, but this stretched their resources thin, diverting focus from their core mission and strategic planning. They needed a more efficient and consistent way to produce high-quality, authentic films that could connect with donors and the wider public.

The Solution: A Streamlined Film Partnership

Impact Nations partnered with a specialist team to overcome their film production challenges. This collaboration allowed them to access an experienced film crew through a subscription model, eliminating the high costs and logistical headaches of one-off projects.

The specialist team's approach was two-pronged:

On-the-Ground Filming: Their experienced team was deployed to shoot both long-form and short-form films for Impact Nations' partners in Uganda.

Remote Production Guidance: For partners in other countries, they provided expert guidance and coordination, empowering local teams to capture and produce their own films.

This streamlined process completely transformed Impact Nations' creative output. They could now consistently produce high-quality videos that strengthened their external communications, showcased their impact to donors, and built a strong, engaging presence on social media. For Impact Nations' Director of Operations, Tim, this partnership wasn't just about saving money, it was about creating value every time they received a new film, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: changing lives.

To Tim, getting a design or film back in one to three days is an “instant $500 value.”
