      Sean and his team are fantastic to work with. For us - it started with asking them to build our company a website. Months later, that site won an award for its design excellence. We then hired them to do video & photography for social media. Once we had great content, Sean & team helped us set up ongoing google ads & social marketing campaigns. They have executed our projects with the highest quality - on time & on budget. Highly recommend partnering with them in the future!

      Video Marketing Review from Scott Lepkofker

      We've been partners with Forge Apollo for nearly three years, and they have been an incredible extension of our team. From incredible creative and high-quality production to pitch development, thought leadership, and strategic introductions, they consistently bring a level of expertise, creativity, and commitment that is hard to find in a partner. What I appreciate most is that they genuinely operate like a partner rather than a vendor. They take the time to understand our business, our clients, and what were trying to accomplish, and they are always willing to go the extra mile to help us succeed. Their creative work is consistently impressive, and their production capabilities allow us to bring big ideas to life at a very high level. They also have some impressive proprietary technology that gives them a unique point of differentiation and adds another layer of value to what they bring to the table. Ryan Holloway, the CEO, deserves a special mention. He is extremely hands-on and engaged, and I never feel like Im being passed off to someone else once the relationship is established. Ryan is accessible, thoughtful, and personally invested in the success of our partnership. Over the past three years, Forge Apollo has helped us elevate our pitches, strengthen our thought leadership, expand our network, and ultimately present a stronger version of our business to the market. Theyre the type of partner that rolls up their sleeves, gets in the trenches with you, and genuinely cares about the outcome. I would highly recommend Forge Apollo to any organization looking for a creative partner that brings together great people, incredible creative, strong production, and innovative technology.

      Video Marketing Review from Jessica Farren

      I cannot say enough good things about this company. Had a great experience working with them on several projects for our company, ASD, this year. As a funeral home answering service, we needed to take our marketing to the next level in a way that not only showcased our company's innovation but also exemplified our client-centric approach to business. Forge Apollo not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a website that perfectly encapsulates our values. Their attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to understanding our unique needs made the entire process seamless. Additionally, Forge Apollo showcased their prowess in video marketing by creating captivating videos for ASD. These videos highlighted our company's comprehensive solutions and featured insightful interviews with current clients and heartfelt conversations with our staff. The team at Forge Apollo proved to be a pleasure to work with, demonstrating a perfect blend of professionalism and creativity. Their responsiveness to client needs and ability to execute on diverse goals make them an invaluable partner. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Forge Apollo to anyone seeking a dedicated and talented team for their web design and marketing needs.

      Synchronous Pictures, led by James Parker, delivered an extraordinary experience from start to finish. James has a rare ability to combine technical excellence with emotional storytelling. Our team at Rise Up Industries saw our story come to life in a unique and powerful way. James approached each interview and filming day with care, professionalism, and a listening ear.

      Will and Sam created a video that conveyed the most intriguing parts of my craft in a way that was truly inspiring. They captured the small moments and details of what I do and flawlessly edited the footage into an intimate peek inside my studio and working life in a creative way. The video has been invaluable in showing my customers what happens behind the scenes, lifting the veil and letting my clients see how I work and what goes into creating my jewelry pieces. I can't recommend them highly enough!

      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.

      Privata's Review Sourced from Google

      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.

      10/10 recommend! I've been working with Grant & Rich for over 6 years and can't recommend them enough. The videos they produce are always beautifully captured, edited and colour graded, and done with so much thought from start to finish. We love chatting through story concepts for future projects, and more than anything, they're a brilliant, passionate and supportive team to work with on shoot day. Thank you both! X

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.
