Brand Film Production for Non-profits

For non-profits and community groups

Billie builds it from interviews with the people involved, the founders, volunteers and those it supports, so it carries the kaupapa rather than a slogan.

On the shoot

Consent and dignity

People sharing hard stories need to understand where the film will be seen and be able to say no, and some may need their faces or names kept out.

Tikanga and kaupapa

Filming on marae or with iwi, hapū and community groups follows their tikanga, which is agreed with the people involved before the shoot.

The service

A brand film is the piece people watch all the way through: the founders, the craft, the reason the business exists. Billie approaches it like a short documentary, finding the real story first and shooting it with cinema-grade care.

What’s included

Story development and interviews
Cinematic shoot
Original or licensed score
Website and launch cuts
Social trailers

Which retainer suits

Organisations running campaigns all year suit Essential at $1,500 NZD a month: one session, three edited pieces and five short-form edits keep appeals, events and impact stories coming. A single appeal film or documentary is usually quoted as Bespoke Production. Galas and fundraising dinners can be produced by Billie Private, quoted per project.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

Can people in the film stay anonymous?

Yes. Faces can be kept out of shot or blurred and names left out, and a voice can be recorded without showing the speaker, so someone can tell their story without being identified.

What is included?

Story development and interviews, cinematic shoot, original or licensed score, website and launch cuts, social trailers. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
