      The team at 522 productions and specifically Cara as she was my point person, were phenomenal in making the steps to filming seamless and given my baby was part of it, that was no easy task. They went above and beyond with clear instructions and set up a calm and relaxing environment that could otherwise be expected to feel overwhelming. I wish I could give the team more than 5 stars.

      This is where their expertise really shined. They knew how to guide interviews to get authentic, compelling sound bites not stiff, scripted responses. The final edits felt personal, credible, and persuasive. Beyond the creative execution, the entire process was seamless. The team was strategic, detail-oriented, and fast, delivering content that exceeded expectations while staying on schedule. If you're looking for a video partner that thinks like a marketer and produces like a top-tier creative agency, Nomadigo is the team you want on your side.

      When I launched my luxury brand, I needed more than just a production company; I needed a creative partner who could translate elegance and form into pure visual poetry. Nomadigo delivered beyond expectation. From the sheen of silk, satin and velour every shot was a perfect shot. They understood that my designs weren’t just meant to be seen—they were meant to be felt. Beyond the visuals, their direction was impeccable. They didn’t just film; they sculpted each moment—guiding the models with precision to ensure that every movement, every pose, amplified the grace and structure of each piece. The result? A campaign that radiates the essence of luxury, where every frame tells a story of confidence, powerful women, and timeless beauty. For a brand that lives and breathes aesthetics and luxury, Nomadigo isn’t just a production team—they are artists in their own right. If you need to showcase luxury in its purest form, this is the only team to trust.

      Next-Level Adventure Filmmaking—Nomadigo Delivers In the world of extreme adventure, capturing the thrill, speed, and raw adrenaline of off-road tours isn’t easy. Most production crews would struggle to keep up—Nomadigo thrived. I’ve never seen a team so dialed into the technical and physical demands of high-speed adventure filmmaking. They rigged motorcycles and chase vehicles to capture jaw-dropping footage from angles I didn’t even think were possible. Watching them strap cameras to cars flying across rugged terrain, I kept thinking, there’s no way that gear survives this—but it did. That’s what professionals do. The final edits? Insane. Slow-motion dust clouds, water spraying up through the air, perfectly-timed speed ramps, and a music score that gets your heart racing before you even step into a vehicle. It was exactly what we wanted—even before we knew it was possible. If you want extreme adventure captured with precision, Nomadigo is the only team I’d trust.

      Right from the very beginning, Rich and his team member, Pete made me feel comfortable and confident. They were patient and accommodating while filming and doing photo shoots. Knowing that I am deaf, Rich learned a few signs before meeting me to help guide me in the film making process and the photo shoot. I was very impressed and felt this was helpful especially to communicate when to start during the filming and photo shoots. I had amazing results. I highly recommend Hawke Filmmaki

      I had the pleasure of working with Richard Hawke and his team in the production of a video for one of our charitable events. As the Director of Marketing & Communications for a non-profit, our budget for videos is limited; however, we want to have the best quality product for the dollars we have. Working with Hawke Commercial Filmmaking was wonderful because they set expectations upfront about what could be achieved within our budget parameters, but the experience of working with the team and the end product surpassed those expectations. Richard and his team were great to work with, true partnership and collaborative environment, and the final video was a hit at our event! I would gladly work with Hawke again in the future and highly recommend to anyone.

      Excellent service and great disposition. Alonso is an excellent, helpful, and attentive person. I really like his work because he knows how to be very professional. We've been working with him for a couple of years now, both for that reason and because he's very good at what he does. His drone shots are excellent, plus they are very clean, subtle, and elegant, which denotes the good eye for detail in his work. Highly recommending it, you won't regret it! Thank you so much, Alonso, for all your support :D

      At Easygenerator, we’ve worked with Pro Motion Film on four projects so far, including one in Germany. Niels doesn't just bring technical expertise but also exceptional direction, guidance, and creativity. He ensures a smooth process and delivers perfect footage every time. We’re always proud to share the videos he’s created—they get amazing feedback! We already have more projects lined up this year, and I’m excited to see what we’ll create next.

      I would like to highly recommend Promotion Film managed by Niels de Groot for their exceptional work on our e-learning video for New Nordic. The video they created was not only visually stunning but also perfectly aligned with our brand’s identity and values. The collaboration was seamless from start to finish – their team was highly professional, fast, and extremely responsive to our needs. They delivered top-quality work on time, exceeding our expectations. It was truly a pleasure working with them, and we look forward to future projects together!

Niels and his team really have a great eye for detail, and the communication was super clear from start to finish, with rapid responses throughout. Would 10/10 recommend working with Pro Motion Film!

      Films by Farallon was excellent to work with from start to finish. Their communication was clear and timely throughout the pre-production process, and they executed exactly to spec on shoot day. We filmed a one-person, direct-to-camera interview on a chroma blue screen, with both boom and lav audio, and they also captured a variety of beautiful b-roll shots around the office. Everything was delivered as unedited 4K ProRes 422HQ footage, perfectly organized and ready for post. They were flexible and collaborative in thinking through solutions for large file delivery and made the process easy on our end. The team was professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. We'd happily work with them again!

      Project 2 Restore's Review Sourced from Google

      Working with The Courtside Group was a great experience from start to finish. Project 2 Restore is a non-profit, and our goal was to produce a video that tells the story of what we do and why it is so important to the community. We needed a team that could do more than just produce a video, we needed a partner who could understand the heart of our mission and translate it into a powerful narrative that would grow awareness in our community. The Courtside Group did just that. They approached our project with incredible respect and creativity, making everyone involved feel comfortable and valued. The final brand video they produced is more than we could have hoped for. It beautifully tells the story of Project 2 Restore and how the community can join in the mission. The quality is exceptional, and it has already become an invaluable tool for us to connect with the community and raise awareness. I cannot recommend The Courtside Group highly enough, especially for any non-profit or mission-driven organization. The Courtside Group combines marketing strategy with a genuine passion for storytelling, and are true partners in every sense of the word.

      We've never encountered a creative team that has been able to interpret our vision, mission and values and produce a video that perfectly speaks to what we were looking for like Courtside. The first take of the brand video was delivered by them and the direction was so good we were flabbergasted. My business partner and I are tinkerers by nature (love to put our thumb on the scale) and we couldn't come up with a single edit. Courtside just nailed it. And two days earlier than promised.

      Brandon Johnson's Review Sourced from Google

      I've worked with many different programs and services to create and maintain web sites since my first HTML site in the late 90s. An everchanging thing, it was difficult to keep up with all the new technologies. Web sites became my least favorite aspect of marketing because everything became so tedious. Linking up with Ruby Shore was the best decision I could have made. When I explained to them my disdain for Wordpress, they happily introduced me to their new system, Waves. Whoa. Surf's up, internetters! Waves is where it's at. I finally was able to create a site exactly the way I imagined it. I didn't run into any of the problems that frustrated me in years past using other services, and it didn't take me long before I was humming along to realize my vision. I want a thing. I get the thing. It just works. I have yet to find any limitations holding me back. Everybody Glows lives online as dreamt because of the team at Ruby Shore. Thank y'all for your awesomeness! Brando

      The business world today has become much more demanding for those of us that want to contribute. For those of us willing to put forth the extra effort, TIME has become our major enemy. Ruby Shore has not only developed applications that save us a tremendous amount of time, they have the ability to understand our process with little explanation. This saves even more TIME!!! Not to mention the flawless operation of these applications and the ability to add more features as we begin to understand all of what Ruby Shore can do for our specialized construction business. We will continue to search for ways to improve our business through specialized applications and we will continue to use Ruby Shore for those application designs, development, and management.

      Merit Productions is truly top notch. I've used them for severl professional projects over the years as well as a personal photo shoot for my daughter with Scott. Professionally, they deliver outstanding work and always on time. While I am likely not their biggest client based on their online portfolio (like whoa! They do some big name business.), they always make me feel like we are. The studio sessions with Scott are also really amazing and he has always made my daughter feel very comfortable. He has done professional headshots for me as well which turned out better than expected. All around, I would not every hesitate to use them for our future projects.

      Scott and the team at Merit Productions are top notch. I've worked on numerous video and photography projects with them, and every single time have received an excellent final product. But the real magic of working with Merit happens during the development process. From initial idea to final deliverable, the Merit team brings a high level of creativity, detail-oriented problem solving, and professional talent to ensure you receive what you are looking for, often exceeding expectations. In addition to being delightfully fun to work with, they ask all the right questions to ensure casting is focused, wardrobes are spot on, and all of the tiny details are locked in. I've gone to the team with both loose ideas and rigid specifications, and they always knock it out of the park.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Documentary Production Companies

What does a documentary production company do?

Documentary video production companies provide filming and editing services for streaming platforms, NGOs, and broadcasters. They specialize in capturing authentic human and nature experiences that are thought-provoking and inspire action. The core idea behind this cinematic format is to understand the people behind the story, their philosophy and drive, and bring the topic closer to the audience.  

The main services of documentary production companies can be segmented into three tiers: 

  • Pre-production services: Conceptualization, research, scheduling, location scouting, and budgeting 
  • Production services: Filming, directing, interviews with subjects, audio recording, and cinematography 
  • Post-production services: Editing, archival footage insertion, adding subtitles, voiceover, sound design, and color grading 

Some agencies also produce historical, social impact, educational, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) documentaries, and assist with festival submissions and distribution.   

What kind of documentaries do these companies make?

Documentary production companies create non-fiction films that inform, educate, and inspire. Common subjects they cover are nature, true crime, social justice, and corporate stories, presented in a range of formats, including long-form features, episodic series, short-form content, and branded content for streaming platforms and television.  

Common types of documentaries include:  

  • Social impact and advocacy: Aimed at prompting public debate or activism for social justice and environmental issues 
  • Investigative and crime: In-depth research into true stories, profiled crimes, historical events, or unsolved mysteries 
  • Biographical and historical: Detailed explorations of influential individuals or historical events 
  • Nature and science: Wildlife films and environmental documentaries 
  • Branded documentaries: Create documentaries about a brand’s mission, impact, milestones, or corporate journey 
  • Observational: Capturing real-life events as they unfold with minimal intervention from the filmmakers 
  • Docuseries: Serialized stories that cover lifestyle, sports, food, or travel topics 

How much do documentary video production companies charge for their services?

Documentary movies can cost between $10,000 and $1 million per production. The final price is determined based on the type of documentary, location, production quality, the size of the crew, the equipment needed, and the post-production process. In general, documentaries fall within the following brackets: 

  • Low-budget documentaries: $10,000 to $50,000 
  • Mid-range documentaries: $50,000 to $200,000 
  • High-end documentaries: $200,000 to $1 million or more 

On the lower end, many documentaries done by emerging filmmakers have budgets that are even lower than the industry threshold. These crews raise only enough to cover basic hard costs, relying on volunteer labor and in-kind contributions of goods and services. 

On the higher end, documentary budgets can go far above $3 million and are usually allocated to high-profile projects supported by studios, broadcasting networks, and global streaming platforms. 

In addition to production costs, what else needs to be accounted for in the final budget?

Besides filming costs, the final budget should also consider the following expenses: 

  • Location permits and insurance 
  • Crew salaries 
  • Rental expenses for lighting, shooting, and sound equipment  
  • Travel and accommodation for the crew 

Do I own the final footage?

Typically, the contract determines ownership, but it is standard for the production company to own the raw files until final payment, after which the client receives the finished, edited content.
