Video Production for Non-profits and Community Groups

Appeals and campaigns need a film that moves people to act, plus short versions for every channel. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.

For non-profits and community groups

Billie handles the concept, the shoot and the edit, and plans cut-downs for social, email and events from the start.

What Billie makes

  • Appeal film
  • Campaign cut-downs
  • Event screening version
  • Email and web versions

On the shoot

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.

Funder requirements

Funders and grant bodies sometimes have rules on logos, credits and how their support is acknowledged, so these are checked before the edit.

The service

Billie handles video from the first idea to the final export: concept, scripting, casting, the shoot itself, edit, colour and sound. One team carries the project the whole way, so the story you sign off on at the start is the one that ends up on screen.

What’s included

  • Concept and scripting
  • Location scouting and casting
  • Shoot crew and camera
  • Edit, colour grade and sound mix
  • Cut-downs for every platform

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.
