      I work in video production and we hired Happy Monster's team to help us film an interview that we couldn't travel to. They were such a fantastic team in every realm - communication, video quality, professionalism with our client, everything. I would absolutely hire them again. You can tell they really care about their work. Their team speaks English and Spanish, which was really helpful for my English-speaking team. I hope I have a chance to work with them in the future!

      My company tapped BRING to help tell a human interest story for a national client. Not only do they get the importance of the emotional connection through branding with video production, they brought extra tools and a great attitude and some subtle ideas to help make the impact needed. All while meeting the deadline and staying within my budget. The subjects being interviewed in the feature were so impressed that that sent a box of swag, and personal hand written thank you notes about the sensitivity and professionalism of the crew. A great win for my company, we will use them again!

      In modern times creatives struggle with deciding between investing in traditional large scale film production and quick, nimble shoots to bring their content goals to a reality. The Kiln meshes a traditional proven process, exceptional talent and robust production value while maintaining an agile, innovative and flexible approach to every project to maximize creative value, time and output. Regardless how baked your idea is or what level of service you are looking for - this team of producers, directors and operators are guaranteed to elevate and execute your vision (and you're sure to make some great friends with the team along the way!)

      We engaged the Kiln to produce two videos for CFMWS and Soldier On. From the start, Sophie and Evan stand out, they bring enthusiasm, professionalism and a very good directorial and visual style to the table. The productions were well produced and organized. They are easy to communicate with as well as take and share ideas. This is a dream boutique production company, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

      I am thrilled with the results of recent product videos and stills produced by The Kiln. Sophie's ability to conceptualize project goals, despite the industry, are impressive and effective. Her detailed planning and follow through making working with The Kiln a breeze. Sophie's accountability and clear communication kept our project on track and within budget. As a bonus, Sophie is a delightful person which makes working together all the more fun.

      We've worked with Rob for a good couple of years now and the work he produces for us is fantastic. From social content to mini documentaries; once you brief Rob on your brand, your objective and your tone, his interpretation is spot on. His ability to capture the essence of your message and translate sometimes quite complex briefs, into engaging films, is second to none. Highly recommended.

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.
