Non-profit Video Production Wellington

In Wellington

Many national charities and community organisations have their head offices in Wellington, close to government and funders. Hemara Group has a base there, so Billie works with Wellington organisations directly.

Wellington punches well above its size for creative work. The film industry is centred in Miramar, the live music and arts scene runs through Cuba Street and the waterfront, and the compact city means the harbour, the south coast and the CBD are all minutes apart.

Services in Wellington

What it’s for

Charities, trusts, iwi organisations and community groups use video to show what their work changes and who it is for.

That means fundraising and appeal films, impact stories for funders and annual reports, volunteer recruitment, event coverage and social content for campaigns. The stories are often personal, so they need time, trust and care with the people telling them. Billie makes documentary work about people, places and culture, and brings the same approach to a cause.

On the shoot

Making the budget go further

Planning one shoot to cover an appeal film, impact clips and report photos at once gets the most out of a limited budget.

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.

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.
