Unlike traditional documentary studios, our work often lives inside research initiatives, clinical training pathways, and public health campaigns.
We are mindful that interviewees are often sharing vulnerable stories or educating on complex mental health topics. As peers, we coach and support participants throughout the production process, helping them feel grounded and confident in how they tell their story. We’ve been on both sides of the camera, so we understand the weight of what it means to share. And in the edit room, we are intentional about how words, tone, and context carry forward into the final cut.

We believe that how a project is created is just as important as the final product. Whether collaborating with clinicians, peers, or instructional designers, we ensure complex mental health topics are represented thoughtfully and that final tools integrate into your learning ecosystem.
We draw from social psychology and behavior change research to ensure films do more than raise awareness — they influence knowledge, attitudes, and action.
Amanda helped us to think through the product that we wanted to develop allowing us space for creativity while also guiding us with her expertise. The process was open, inclusive, and collaborative throughout and we are delighted with the finished product and looking forward to future projects with Amanda!
